Chinese style Noodles with Veg and eggs



I always cook Indian food at home and it takes a whole lot of my time every day. The whole of the last week we got some amazing sunshine with temperature as high as 20 degree  and we spend most of our time outdoors smelling the fresh air and sun basking and at the end of the day when we come inside even the thought of cooking used to tire me, so last few days I have been doing some quick dinners  exploring different cuisines and the dinner used to get ready in 30- 45 minutes ! Inspite of having plenty of sunlight for taking pictures, I didnt  click any and we used to finish our dinner as soon as it got ready and I have to say  the food straight from the pot tastes divine, something which I miss when I blog especially  while photographing some crispy apperizers. By the time whole photo session finishes the food goes cold :( 

Chinese style Noodles was our dinner one day but I couldnt click the picture that day. Since it tasted so good   I had to make it again for two reasons, mainly for eating again and another reason for photographing it. So this weekend with the help of S, I managed to click some step by step clicks as well ! It was a team work as Lil A was also excited about the step by step session and he too was helping S in clicking the pictures and helping me with  stirring and all !
