Typical lazy Friday,started by waking up really late for a change, usual coffee at Rula’s noon time then asking what to eat for lunch, decided to make this dish cause It’s been long time since we ate it plus me and my friends went out to dinner the other night at Ren Chai and ordered the same dish but It wasn’t that good or I didn’t enjoy it well !

Noodles with Beef.

Hello everybody.
Busy day, had some house repairs and painting walls so I kind of started to cook late 🙁
After a quick search I took out some cooked shredded beef, all the veggies in fridge and noodles. Tossed all with soy sauce, ketchup and ginger, easy quick dinner.
I also made salad with fried potatoes, eggplants and tahini sauce on top.
Another working day awaiting me tomorrow !
