Last weekend was the boys' night to cook and the challenge was to cook something that they hadn't cooked before (so no spaghetti and no tacos). They attacked the cupboard full of cookbooks and came up with ginger beef and noodles as their choice. Carla was out doing errands so they quickly called her to request a few missing ingredients from the store (noodles and beef).
With dinner time quickly approaching they launched into action. Iain cut the beef into strips and Austin chopped the green onions. They both collaborated on the seasoning (we discovered that we were out of Paprika but decided to go ahead anyway and hoped that it would still taste good). Both the boys like the flavor of garlic so lots of chopped garlic went in (yum!).
Once the meat was cooked, in went the water and noodles. It's at this point that they discovered that the wok would have been a better vessel to do this kind of cooking. The pan they chose was overflowing with good stuff.
About an hour after starting we got out the noodle bowls and had a very tasty dinner. I sure hope they do this one again some time! :)
