Me as a baby - that is Dad's arm

Here is me making snowcastles on the swing in our old back garden. I am about 2 and a bit.

Boil glass noodles with vegtetable stock, two desert spoons of soy sauce and two desert spoons of rice vinegar and then fry with half a head to a head of garlic, a birds eye chilli, an inch of ginger, some five spice and some shredded cabbage and carrots.

If you aren't cooking for a vegetarian then you can add shredded chicken and replace the vegetable stock with chicken stock.

I know I don't blog here very much but that's mostly because I'm not sure what to say so I've decided to start posting my own recipes.

To make this for three people put three cups of vegetable stock and three cups of water in a pan and startheating it. Then add a medium sized piece of ginger root cut into thin strips, half a pack of shreded shitake mushrooms, two spring onions slivered, half a head of chopped garlic and a sizeable piece of tofu cut into strips. Put in a good shake of chinese five spice, cayenne pepper and powdered ginger, two serving spoons of soya sauce and two serving spoons rice vinegar (don't add ordinairy vinegar, if you haven't got rice vinegar add a swig of sherry). Once it's boiling put a lid on the saucepan and leave to infuse for atleast half an hour.
