[quote=Anonymous]I'm very happy at the moment because I'm eating Chinese noodles, which I love. They're leftovers from what I made last night. I'm realizing that there are many things I LOVE to eat that I don't know how to cook. (Duck, for example.)
   Shall we start a thread of favorite dishes, with recipes? (says she, feeling too lazy to type out the Chinese noodle recipe)

2 lbs extra firm tofu (Nasoya)    Pork can be used instead of tofu (cut a thick pork chop or two into small slices. If you like you can "marinate" them a little in soy sauce and corn starch)
    Spinach (Fresh or frozen. If it's frozen, get the chopped kind)
 Shitake mushrooms- lots
 1 lb "rice sticks" (rice noodles from Asian grocery store) Medium or small

soy sauce
 fish sauce
Chinese vinegar
Chinese rice spirts or Japanese cooking wine (or, in a pinch, a little sherry)
 sesame oil (optional)

Steps:

Press the tofu between plates. Drain the liquid that comes out and cube and put a little soy sauce over the cubes.
   In oil, saute garlic and sliced shitake mushrooms. Add the tofu cubes and spinach.
 cook the noodles according to the instructions, and when they're done, add them to the mushroom/tofu/spinach combination.
  Mix sauce ingredients in small bowl and pour over noodles and stir.

I've never measured the sauce ingredients.
  I take a small bowl and put in mostly soy sauce (say, a quarter cup) then add the rest. Just a few dashes of fish sauce, and maybe at least a tablespoon of the cooking wine or spirits and a tablespoon of vinegar.  A pinch of sugar. (really small pinch.)

You can put hot sauce on the noodles if you like it spicier. Actually, if I didn't have small kids, I would slice jalepenos and cook them with the garlic and mushrooms.
Yum.[/quote]
