How to make crab with udon noodles

How to make crab with udon noodles? Indeed, by the time this is published I’ll be interstate attending a meeting for work. In anticipation I didn’t purchase any meat on Saturday and I needed to empty my refrigerator. I just threw together some stuff I had. Fortunately the shelf of shame had a tin of crab meat and some udon noodles. With a little pouring cream and Coon cheese a creamy cheesy dinner was guaranteed. In many ways this crab with udon noodles is a great comfort food dish.

Monday link love

Last week I did a dedicated Monday Link Love post which resulted in a lovely shout out from Jennifer of Little Monster Girl.

Here are some links from today’s round of sharing by Canberra Food Bloggers in our Facebook Canberra Food Bloggers Group.

Today has been quiet. The weather was nice, it started cold but warmed up during the day and got got cold again in the early afternoon. I walked around Lake Ginninderra and ate well.

For breakfast I decided to go with two eggs and an English muffin. Between the egg and muffin I sneaked in a little ginger, lemon and lime marmalade. For lunch I tried something new, white rice with crab meat thickened with yoghurt and some Parmesan cheese. For dinner I baked some skinless chicken thigh in aluminium foil plus some baked Parmesan chips.

Noodle omelet recipe

As a teenager I used to make noodle omelet for myself and my youngest brother.

It’s been many years since I’ve made a big noodle omelet and in the last week I’ve received two ‘reminders’ to go for it. 

The first hint was when Greg from Greg’s Kitchen featured his ramen hotdog tortilla omelet recipe on his YouTube channel. Then Mabel Kwong mentioned why Asians like to eat instant noodles
