A.T.D.K 4235 (and two doves kissed upon Yao)
Some of you will know that this is the first newly added recipe on this site since April 2015- now October, i hope that as the wintry weather begins to creep in if you are in a country where that is happening presently....that this may enable you a time for reflection and a time to gather resources and prepare for what may or may not be the winter and the christmas/festive season ahead. I am planning to add a few more additional items in the months ahead as and when i think of them and which may be of interest to you. I sincerely hope so. When i tried tasting this recipe my thought was 'It is all about the sensation of eating'.
Ingredients:
One (or two new to Regenprotec/ less than 4 months) portions of flat dried noodles (see photo)
One (or one and a half) vegetable stock cubes depending on whether two portions of noodles used

5-8 smaller/medium cloves of garlic depending on taste
Some fresh ginger (as per photo)
