Waking up groggy on a Monday morning after a late night is a serious incentive to go straight back to sleep.
However, I had to get my ass off to office AND feed myself some lunch. Hmm...
I'd bought some palak from Nerul on my way to Peter's place, so, I quickly washed and chopped it up and defrosted some corn for 30 sec.
A couple of cloves of garlic, a little nub of ginger, and a longer suffering tomato sputtered together with the corn for a few minutes and then I quickly put in the palak and got ready for office...
I packed my lunch box and off I went to office...
I love to eat. Food rejuvenates and nourishes, and sometimes reminds you of the cloying sweetness of "Ode to Autumn". This is my little paradise where the little whiff of heaven or tastes of Valhalla gets recorded...

Quick Wok Tossed Noodles with Spinach & Broccoli
I'd told Subha that I'd try and stir fry something in the wok and give it to her to taste when I met her next. When Guru and Subha said that they'd meet me on Saturday, I remembered what I'd promised.
I opened the fridge and saw nothing besides eggs, spinach, and some broccoli to toss with the noodles.
I sliced and smashed some ginger and garlic to start things off...
All this while the noodles dunked around in some boiling water...
The noodles soon were out and got rinsed in some cold water to prevent them from cooking further..
I warmed little oil in the wok
And then tossed in the ginger and garlic mince.
It is not a happy thing if you want to cook and photograph when you are using a wok since the searing heat cooks things in seconds... This got over browned in about 5 secs!
I quickly added the veggies and tossed them around
I added the noodles
... and rounded things by adding a splatter of toasted sesame seeds.
Guru and I gobbled up most of this.
While packing the noodles for Subha, I grated some lemon rind on top..
... And... We have some nice (and very quick) noodles :)
