Harvesting wild veggies then mixing them with noodles is a simple way but delicious thing.
When was the last time you ate instant noodles? To be honest I've never stocked myself with instant noodles again. I know if I make that stock, I will eat that instant noodle more often and it will be very unhealthy for my lifestyle.
But there are times when in the countryside like where I live, we feel very hungry and access to food is quite far. So when we run out of complex food stock, instant noodle is the best option we have.
Well, my mother always has a stock of instant noodles. I know that. Most of the time, I'm not tempted. But when I ran out of other food, I was tempted like this time. LOL.
My fridge is almost empty. There are no other vegetables to mix with instant noodles. In the end, I decided to look for wild veggies on my family's farm behind the house, which I honestly haven't seen much of.
Harvesting Wild Spinach
I thought about wild spinach which is the easiest to find in the field. I wish I could harvest them.
I walked to the field. I found chickens that were breeding well in a lush field.
Then I saw a little wild spinach. It does not matter. The important thing is that I can mix it with instant noodles.
I have difficulty reaching the water spinach that has spread in the middle of the pond. Finally, I took what little I could on the edge of the pond.
The beautiful wildflowers also made me happy this time. Also the sounds of frogs that seemed to want to accompany me.
This is the harvest I got today. I'm grateful that I can still get vegetables during the bad weather here.
Let's cook these wild spinach in the kitchen, with instant noodles. I will give a touch of magic to the simple ingredients I have. Stay tuned.
So, here I will make curry noodles, with coconut milk, and wild spinach. Why do I use coconut milk, even though instant curry seasoning is already available in the noodle packaging? I did that to add a creamy feel to the final taste.
For instant noodles, here I use the “white curry” variant. Although the final result is not white gravy in color, because it uses chili oil. Without chili oil, oh..... no!
Cooking Instructions
First of all, stir-fry the chopped garlic, chopped onion, and chili or paprika. Once fragrant, add wild spinach, or other types of vegetables that you use.
Add a little water, salt, then let it sit for a while, then remove it, and set it aside.
Prepare all the seasoning in a bowl, then add boiling water, as well as coconut milk. Stir well. You can also boil the gravy on the stove for a while.
SERVED!
After all the ingredients are cooked, it's time to serve the curry noodles with stir-fried veggies. Serve while warm.
My mother really liked the taste of the end result of the combination of wild spinach and curry noodles. My mother ate most of the dish, while I ate only a little. lol.
It's a delicious gravy which is my favorite. And thanks for the coconut milk which makes the taste even richer. :)
How about you guys? Have you ever tried serving instant noodles like my recipe?
