Not!
I’ve been craving Chinese all week, and finally gave in and made my homemade version.
I used some Udon noodles (I think they were Udon, maybe lo mein?) from the Super H Mart, some frozen mixed veggies, and some chicken.
In the sauce:
Rice wine vinegar
Low sodium soy sauce
Honey
Garlic powder
Onion powder
I could not have been happier with how this turned out!
Craving curbed!
I think Asian stir fry is one of the most hardest things for me to make, mostly because it’s hard for me to get the sauce right, but I always love it once I’ve made it.
Do you ever make Asian food at home? Any easy recipes you use?

Good for you making the chinese instead of getting a take out. The sauce sounds yummy, I love the addition of honey it makes a nice sweet sauce :)
Homemade chinese is so much healthier than takeout!! And your’s looks/sounds even better!! :)
Congrats on winning! You’re famous!
I love Chinese–take out or homemade. It’s so gooey, salty, and noodly. Yours looks yummy. Joseph often brings Udon back from “the Orient” when he’s there. We love it on a cold night.
That looks like such a healthy fun way to enjoy Chinese. i have never had udon noodles before. Me and Maggs have made Chinese in a slow cooker before that is fast, tasty and easy! Hope classes are going well!
uggh that was my school’s website that i commented from. sorry :( you might want to delete that one.
anyway, dinner looks great! hope school is going well!
I love making asian stir frys. I like to use a mix of veggies and tofu (i don’t eat meat).. but I’m totally with you–it’s all about the sauce!!
Wow, your noodle dish looks so tasty! I have just recently began experimenting in the kitchen, and always thought asian food was something I could never recreate as well as what the restaurants serve. But last week I made chicken fried rice that was really, really good! Same ingredients as your sauce-soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, some sesame oil, and ginger. I used a bag of frozen snow peas, sauteed some chicken, and used long grain brown rice. I think an egg would have been yummy in there too, but I didn’t have any. It definitely filled the craving for chinese food, and it is so much lower in sodium! I am amazed at how much sodium chinese restaurants can pack into their food…even something supposedly healthy like string beans can have up to 2,000 mg! When you consider we’re only supposed to have up to 2,400 mg that is just astounding to me. Great job on making it at home!
