Braised Noodles

I usually cook something simple on Saturdays. No rice, soup and a few side dishes. Just one dish to settle dinner because I do major cleaning on Saturday.

I don't want to spend time washing and cleaning the pots, pans and dishes. Plus, the stove will be throughly cleaned too so, yeah, I wouldn't want to clean it again. :P

This is one of the family's favourite Saturday dinners. It's similar to this dish except no spice is used here and it's much simpler.
