slow motion

Hello chaps! Welcome to slo-mo Monday. (And you need to say it in slooow mooootion too, ‘tis the rules!) This is where I make a slo-mo video of me cooking a quick and scrumptious (amazing word) meal for two!

Now then my darlings, a teeny little disclaimer… I’m no chef by any means, and I don’t really often make my own sauces or anything crazy like that…basically me and the boyfriend both work quite long days, so we simply don’t have the time. However, please enjoy and I hope you’ll find some nice meal ideas in many more Mondays to come!

The idea came from the fact I was SO excited to have a slo-mo feature on my iPhone 5s…original huh?!?! Please note all ingredients and sauces are from British supermarkets, so you may wish to use or find alternative ingredients in your area. 🙂 Right! Ready to go? Wash those mitts, throw on that there apron and let’s get busy! My video:

Ingredients (and rough price estimates)

1 packet of instant noodles (15p, Asda)

½ pack of stir fry mix (£1, Tesco)

Chinese BBQ sauce (80p, Tesco)

Pepper (15p) Onion and Spring onion (10p each)

Garlic Puree (50p a pot, 2p a spoonful)

X2 Cod Fishcakes (£1.75 Tesco)

Total – £2.02 per person. Positively a baaaargain!

Simply pop the fishcakes in the oven at about 150 degrees for 20 mins. While they are cooking, pop some oil in a hot pan and add pepper, onion and spring onion. Also add a dash of garlic puree (fabulous stuff and no smelly hands after chopping garlic!) and a little salt. Let it all cook nicely, then add the stir fry mix.

Let the veg soften (but not too much you still want the crunch) then add the BBQ sauce. Allow it to become sticky and steamy. Meanwhile, add noodles to boiling water and wait for them to cook (takes 5 mins at the most.) Then take out the fishcakes.

Add the noodles, then veg, then the fishcake on top. Add a little spring onion to garnish. Serve and……ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Come back next Monday for quick meal ideas!
