SPICY PAN-FRIED NOODLES
Garlicky, gingery and as spicy as you dare to make it, this Asian-influenced pan-fried noodle dish comes together in minutes. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples, which means you can make it whenever you need a comforting noodle dish that comes with a bite. If you can't find the Chinese egg noodles (also called Hong Kong-style noodles), you can make this with rice noodles or soba. The key is to only boil them until they are halfway done. (They should be pliable but still firm in the center.) They will finish cooking when you pan-fry them.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the scallions, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine or vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Let stand while you prepare the noodles.
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done according to package instructions. (They should still be quite firm.) Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to keep them from sticking, and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half the scallion mixture and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add noodles; stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly coated with sauce, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, spinach or edamame if using, sriracha, and remaining scallion mixture and continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds or peanuts.

PRAWNS AND VEGETABLES OVER PAN-FRIED UDON NOODLES
This is my own creation. It's fast, easy, nutritious, and affordable. Great for dinner on a weeknight when everyone is busy. I will halve the recipe when I'm only cooking for myself or double it when I am cooking for my whole family because it converts easily. Also, one recipe will feed 4 children, as portion sizes are generous.

ASIAN FRIES - PAN FRIED NOODLES
This simple udon noodle recipe makes perfect, thick and delicious, a little bit crunchy, a little bit chewy udon noodles that have an amazing taste even when served by them self! If you cook them just right, they can be served alone, kind of like crunchy/chewy asian french fries. These noodles are so versatile almost any veggie, meat or seafood can be added. Its a staple for people who love big ole fat delicious noodles! If you like spicy, add in some fresh organic cayenne pepper, or even the classic chili garlic sauce. Just a touch of either one will transform it into a spicy lovers dream. I left this recipe basic so that it is more versatile.

Steps:
- To start you will need a good quality wok or non stick pan, and only use a wooden spatula, so you don't scratch it and break the seal. It is helpful to use a wooden spatula that is square and has a point so you can gently separate the noodles while stirring.
- Let the udon noodles thaw a bit. If you can't wait to thaw, put them in the microwave for one minute each side.
- Put the butter, garlic and grape seed oil into the wok and slowly heat the wok no higher than medium heat. **Do not let your garlic burn** The reason to use grape seed oil is because its very neutral and has a high smoke point so it doesn't burn easily.
- When the noodles are thawed gently pull them apart with your fingers.
- When the garlic starts to sizzle and just before it starts to turn golden brown add the udon noodles into the wok.
- After the noodles have been moved around and thoroughly coated in butter, garlic and grape seed oil, turn the heat up to almost high. (only for a few minutes).
- If you don't like garlic, just leave it out.
- *stay with it constantly and gently stir the noodles or they will burn*.
- Gently stir and flip the noodles, after each flip, spread them out gently again.
- The noodles should begin to turn golden brown (not burnt but crispy looking) and when they begin to look this way ad in a few twists of the pink sea salt and 2 Tbsp's of soy sauce.
- Keep stirring it gently.
- Turn the heat back down to just below medium and cook for 1 more minute just until the salt and soy sauce have evenly spread, then turn off burner.
- During this process if you feel the heat get too hot or are afraid its burning, lift the pan off the heat.
- If you want it spicy, add it in now and be subtle.

Steps:
- Boil water. Add noodles and cook for about 1 minute, until al dente. Add cold water to the pot and drain noodles in a strainer. Return them to pot, add cold water, drain again. Repeat once again. Allow noodles to drain for 2 hours, turning them occasionally so they are completely dry.
- Marinate pork for 1 hour and reserve. Make the sauce and reserve.
- Pour 4 tablespoons of the peanut oil into a cast-iron frying pan over high heat. Heat for 40 seconds. When a wisp of white smoke appears, place noodles in an even layer in the pan, covering the entire bottom. Cook for 2 minutes, moving pan about the burner to insure that noodles brown evenly. Invert noodles using dish placed over fry pan. Cook the other side for 2 minutes. If more oil is needed at this point, pour 1 additional tablespoon into pan, but only if needed.
- As noodles are cooking, heat a wok over high heat for 40 seconds. Add two tablespoons peanut oil and coat the wok. Add ginger, stir. Add garlic, stir. When garlic browns, add pork and marinade, spread in a thin layer, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn over and mix well.
- Add all vegetables, stir together. When vegetables have softened slightly, make well in the center and add the sauce. Stir together. When sauce thickens, turn off heat.

Steps:
