Recipe numero uno

I made this this afternoon, whilst very hungover and it turned out to be pretty good. Not the ideal hangover food at all but a good little light lunch or dinner! 
ingredients. 
egg noodles
green beans (NOT Dutch ones, they're terrible and they give you cotton mouth)
a strong chilli
garlic
soy sauce or ketchup manis
spinach
how.
chop the green beans into smaller pieces and cook along with the chopped garlic and chilli. cook it really slowly on low heat, this allows for the garlic to slowly roast and the beans stay nice and crunchy. Boil water and cook the egg noodles until 'al dente'. when you feel your beans and have cooked enough add some fresh spinach, as much as you like and cook it until it is soft.
lastly add some ketchup manis to flavour.. you could also throw in some fish sauce or ginger, but i didn't have..and of corse a little bit of chicken! 
and....Voila!

Darlin - sounds just what I need today! Jesse's birthday yesterday - so big feast last night and loads of red wine - try my mixed nuts they went down a treat - 300gsm of mixed nuts - fry these in a little olive oil and 125gsm castor sugar - wait for the sugar to melt completely and toss these immediately into 1 teaspoon each of ground coriander and cumin, 1/4 teaspoon teaspoon malden salt and 5 cardammom pods - take the seeds and bash them to paste! Once you have tossed and sorted the nuts - spill them out onto a non stick baking tray and seperate them out with two forks - toooo delicious! lots love - Rene
