Speaking of noodles. My wife is doing keto so I cook a lot of quick noodle dishes for myself. I only had spaghetti noodles, but I learned a trick of adding baking soda to the pasta water when cooking and it adds a bit of a bite that lots of asian style noodles have. Worked shockingly well.
Below was spicy lime noodles, oil/lime/sriracha/bit of sugar/sesame oil with shrimp, julienned carrots, and spring onion. Very spicy and my youngest kid kept stealing the noodles from me.
This loosely copied a YT video I watched. Garlic shrimp noodles that started by cooking thinly sliced garlic in oil that both crisped the garlic for a crunchy topping and also flavored some oil that was drizzled over the dish. Stupid good. The trick is to take the garlic oil off heat just as it starts to brown as it continues to cook in the oil as it cools.
