Malay style Noodles

Friday night 8:30 PM-Dinner Time

Me to husband: I prepared the noodles specially for you after coming back from work. So you feed Rishi(son) tonight.
Husband: Don't tell me you prepared it for me. You made it for your Noodles event..
Me: Its not Noodles event. Its "Its a Vegan World-Malaysian" event.

I ended up feeding the son. To my relief, he relished the noodles and ate in just 5 minutes.

I saw the noodles recipe in MalaysianRecipes website..I modified the recipe to make it less spicy and vegan. It came out very nice, different from the usual soy sauce-vinegar stuff. Spinach and green peas makes it healthy too.
