cooking something you hate for the man you love

After cooking some junk for myself, I made something I hate for the man I love to start his day fresh!

But don't get me wrong, in fact, what I hate is what he loves -- green onions!

Green onions are actually evil, nasty and disgusting... it smells bad, taste bad and just makes you non stop shivering after having just one single small bite; but my man loves it.

So here comes my stinky fingers typing up writing this blog after chopping nasty green onions, I'm sharing my very secret "love recipe" that I hate.


~~~fried udon with nasty green onions~~~

Ingredients:
1 pack of frozen Japanese made or Korean made udon (do not use cheap udon as it taste bad and doesn't give you the chewy texture)
3 or more stems of nasty green onions (preferably using the stem part, because that's the most fresh and smelly nasty part that green onions lovers like)
some sliced onions
1 king oyster mushroom, sliced
100g or more (if you're a meat lover) sliced pork, marinated with soy sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil...

Steps:
- dump the pack of frozen udon into a pot of boiling hot water to loosen it out and drain the water immediately, because you do not want to soak the udon for too long to make soggy
- heat up a frying pan at the same time when you're handling the udon
- as soon as you drain out the water from the udon, leave the udon in the pot
- begin to fry your veggies first, just remember to pour enough oil into the pan for better "lubrication"! (remember to lower the power in your stove, so that you don't burn yourself with the heated oil)
- then dump your sliced pork into the pan and mix it with the veggies; do not add any seasoning or sauce into it yet, since your pork have already been marinated!
- as soon as you see your pork start turning beige or whatever colour that indicates that it's almost cooked, add the udon in and make sure to turn up the power in your stove!
- now quickly mix and fry everything together and in the end, add your favourite soy sauce into it and mix it quickly.  (if you fancy the dark colour, add some dark soy sauce into it!)

Tips:
- chop and slice the meat and veggies into smaller pieces so that you can mix with your noodles easier
- turning up the power in the end allows you to "dry up" the water content so that you will have nice and dry fried noodles but not mushy nasty porridge looking flour
- if you are a fan of chili, add some chili too and there gives you a colourful dish!

Happieee cooking and yes, it does take a lot of effort to cook something you hate for the one you love!

And I added a glass of freshly squeezed honey lime juice too!
