Whenever I am eating asian style noodles Harry won’t leave me alone. Being quite high in salt (too much salt is dangerous for babies) I haven’t attempted many asian dishes for him, but I do remember one 5 minute meal that our friend in Singapore cooked once. I have simplified further, and Harry tested it out for lunch.

He loved it so much that I have been re-inspired to cook with more noodles.

Tip: Try adding some cooked chicken, soft tofu or cooked pork to this recipe. 

Note: store bought stock generally contains added salt and gluten – in general homemade is best or check for gluten free specified, if required for allergy purposes.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp dark soy sauce (or salt reduced tamari)

• 1/2 small tin of creamed corn (75g)
• 1 tsp cornflour
• *Note: store bought stock often contains gluten

Method

Step 1

Step 2

In a small bowl combine the cornflour with 2 tsp of water and stir to combine. Add the cornflour mixture to the pan and stir for a minute or until the mixture thickens. Add the noodles and heat through. -
