Before we had a kid in the house, being well-stocked meant having at least 2 packets of instant noodles stashed away in the kitchen cupboard. And when hunger struck, a “nutritious” meal of instant noodles can be prepared in the flash of an eye. But now with Ethan around, I have to make sure the meals I prepare are nutritious, without the inverted commas 😛
Just like last Sunday, when we were coming home from Gurney Plaza, Ethan indicated that he was hungry by saying “mum mum”. So when we reached home, I decided to whip up a quickie meal of noodles (sans preservatives) for a light tea snack. I had some organic spinach noodles which I had bought some time back. Now, giving Ethan spinach noodles is really killing 2 birds with one stone because he loves noodles and at the same time, he was getting his greens as well. The meal was prepared in about 5 minutes and I was glad that our boy enjoyed it so much! It was gratifying to see him slurp each strand of the noodle and then proclaim “Chiak Pa!!” (Hokkien for “I’m full!”)
