Maybe “Asian noodles” is a little misleading. Basically there was a point in time when I wanted fried rice, but was terrified of making rice for fear of messing it up. So I made pasta instead, loosely inspired by fried rice and other recipes online. The ingredients are as follows:

Spaghetti

Chicken (or pork, or beef)

Broccoli

Soy sauce

Four ingredients! I added the broccoli to contrast the chicken, but it can be replaced with other greens or ignored altogether. Of course, you can always add salt/pepper/garlic to the chicken as seasoning if you’re so inclined (I usually do). As for the preparation, there are three steps:

Step 1

Cook spaghetti (If you’ve never done this before, or have trouble cooking spaghetti, you can find instructions here

Step 2

Put oil or butter in pan

Heat pan

Put in chicken

Add broccoli

Add soy sauce

Stir occasionally until it’s cooked

Step 3

Drain the spaghetti and pour the chicken/broccoli/soy sauce over it

In any case, that’s how I made it, but feel free to experiment with other sauces (such as teriyaki), other meats, and other vegetables.

It’s pretty delicious, and if you make too much of it, you can always safe some leftovers for later.
