Shrimp Noodles

For a change, how about Chinese recipes for this week, as being Thanksgiving week and most families celebrate with their kids and friends. There is no doubt that all kids will definitely love the Chinese foods especially the noodles, for them it’s fun to play around with that and I guess you don’t need to force to have than you struggle with feeding a rice or other food varieties. If you don’t want to add the Shrimp in it, you could exclude it and make it out of your desired meat, if vegetarian then you could add the vegetables like carrot, beans and cauliflower too, however the making remains the same.

I even personally love noodles, last week when we visited to a Thai restaurant, we had it, but that was spaghetti. There is a difference between a noodle and spaghetti both in look wise and the size too. Here I used the spaghetti as it gives you extra flavor as well as the taste, however be careful when you are getting it from the shop, as there are lot of varieties, just go for the “plain spaghetti” as some may have with flavors and soups too. Let’s move to the Indian way of making a “Shrimp Noodles” .I am sure you may absolutely love IT!!!!
