Not sure why you'd need a wok though unless you're doing something to go with them. The grand kids eat noodles as a snack and I do them in a saucepan with boiling water from the kettle. Just add the seasoning once they're hot.

Yeah, they're ok, but they're not proper noodles :nono:

If Martin's talking about having real noodles (rather than simply convenience ones), then he'll need a pan or wok to cook them in!

Marco.

That packet above is a nissin one. There are a few different dry ones in Tesco s Asian bit. I usually use the ore cooked vacuum ones. Add my own sauce. Hoisin and plum. Can get bottles of each in Morrisons or sesame oil and ginger and soy as you said

Could someone tell me who or what the feck "Nissin" is??

Marco.

Chicken & mushroom, stir fried with oyster sauce, soy sauce and a bit of butter & black pepper, plus kidney beans to liven the look. Served with vegetable rice.

Nissin are Japanese company who produce noodles on a massive scale. They own 20% of the company I work for.

My tea today was a boiled egg. Had to be small because I went out for a massive lunch and pigged out!:lol:

Cheers, Jim. Soz, never heard of them. Are they proper noodles though, or simply glorified 'pot noodles'? The only noodles we buy are from Chinese supermarkets, but have never looked at the make.

As far as I'm concerned, if they come with sachets of sauce then they're not proper noodles.

They manufacture different types of noodles depending on which market they are selling into, but a lot of them are the instant pot noodle type. Not your fresh Chinese noodle:(

Cheers, Jim. That's what I thought. They're more like a convenience 'ready meal', and so not something we're likely to use.

Marco.

These are one of the types of noodles we buy from a Chinese supermarket:

...and they go into a wok with vegetables and/or meat, and are then stir-fried with some type of sauce, made up of fresh ingredients. We like to eat Chinese food that Chinese people would actually eat!;)

:eek: 3 KG of noodles between the two of you :eek:
