Noodles salad

 

Noodles salad

Ingredients:

500 grams noodles

1/4 cup finely chopped leeks

2 carrots, thinly sliced

1 zucchini, thinly sliced ​​(not essential. If you can find it, use it.)

1/4 cup tomato sauce

3 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced ​​(remove seeds and chop)

3 ½ tablespoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili powder

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toss in a pan for a bit)

A pinch of salt

1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice

How to make:

First, you need to boil the noodles. Here's how to do it. Take a large pot and add water to it. Add a pinch of salt.  Now increase the heat and bring the water to a boil. When the water boils, add the noodles. Then, stirring occasionally, boil the noodles. It will take about 5 minutes to boil. If you boil it too much, it will not work. Then the noodles will become mushy. That is, if you boil it too much, the noodles will stick together. So, you need to watch it carefully and boil it.

After boiling, drain the water from the noodles well.

Then, rinse the noodles with cold water for about two more minutes. Now the hard work is over.

Next, take a slightly larger bowl and add sugar, tomato sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and lime juice to it and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Now, add leeks, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, sesame seeds, and chili flakes to the noodles and stir. Don't stir too much.

 Refrigerate this for about two hours before eating. That's it! Now all the work is done. That's how you make noodle salad.

Hot Dog - Cheesy Hot Dog

 Hot Dog - Cheesy Hot Dog

Ingredients:

4 slices of sandwich bread

4 tablespoons of melted butter

A little grated Cheddar Cheese

4 hot dogs

How to make:

First, we need to preheat the oven to 350°C. The last thing we need to do is put the hot dogs in the oven and bake them. The oven should be at the same temperature as the last one. So, don't turn off the oven at any time because "it's hot now"..!

Now take the bread slices and butter one side of each slice.

Next, place the bread slices on a clean surface with the buttered side down. There will be a little butter on that surface. Don't think too much about it.

Then sprinkle some cheese on top of the bread slices.

 Now take the hot dog and place it on top of these bread slices. You need to place it in a way that the two ends of the bread slices are connected.

Then, spread some more cheese and add the other two ends of the bread slices (not the two ends where the two corners of the hot dog are touching).

Then the bread slice will be like a triangle. At this point, you need to take a toothpick and hold it in place. Otherwise, it will fall apart while baking.

Now, place this on a tray that you can put in the oven and put it in the oven that we previously heated and bake it for about 14 minutes until the bread is toasted.

That's all you have to do. The job is done! When you take it out of the oven, the cheese will be beautifully melted. After taking it out of the oven, you can eat it.
