CHEESY KIMCHI NOODLES


I am in the midst of show season so down time, even at the weekends has becoming rather scarce. 

However I am still trying to squeeze a bit of cooking and recipe researching in - it may not be of my usual more elaborate calibre, but does gives me half an hour or so to switch off and chop away and beats a takeaway in any case!

These cheesy kimchi noodles are rustled up in less than 30mins, are super delicious, look restaurant worthy and were the perfect way for me to get my culinary fix when time is of the essence

SERVES 1

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Spring Onions
