What's Cookin: sesame noodles

Here's an utterly ad-lib noodle dish I've made a few times using some left-over Taiwanese sausage I had in the fridge.  You could sub in regular Chinese sausage as well!  This dish was inspired by my coworker who had sesame instant noodles at his desk and left it sitting there beside me, smelling insanely delicious.  Since I make noodles soups a lot at home, I wanted to try making some dry noodles instead and it turned out amazing!  Here's how:

• Taiwanese sausage or Chinese sausage
• clove of garlic, minced
• Dry somen noodles, 1 bunch
• Fistful Green onion
• 1/2 red pepper, sliced
• Sesame oil, 2 tbsp

With a small pot, add a tsp of oil and when it's hot, add the garlic.  Stir-fry until fragrant, then add sausage.  Stir-fry for a minute or so, since the sausage is already cooked, and this is mainly just to get it hot with a nice singe.  Add red pepper and stir-fry for another minute.  Remove the pot contents to a bowl.

Now fill the pot halfway with water and bring to a boil.  Add the noodles and cook until they are soft enough to your liking. Drain noodles and add to the bowl.  I like my noodles more oily and with a strong sesame flavour, so you can add less oil if you like.  Add the oil right away to the noodles, along with everything else and mix together until coated.  Eat!  Serves 1 person.

PS.  I may be a bit late next week with posts as I'll be recovering from attending a stagette in Vegas!  Wish my liver luck on surviving dear readers!  Also, don't forget to work on those inspiration boards for your chance to win a Karmin G3 styling iron :)
