There is time in my life when I just have to look for whatever available in the house, and throw them all together for a meal. This week was one of those moments when I created the dish below.
Dried Noodles and Saffron Powder
 |
Saffron powder and rice noodle |
I have a bag of this twisted rice
noodle, and saffron powder! I cooked the noodle according to the direction on the bag. Then added enough saffron powder to give the noodle the desired color!
A Mixed of Red, Orange and Yellow Sweet Peppers

Sweet bell peppers in yellow, orange, and red |
Sweet bell peppers of different colors were also available, and very affordable at this time of the year. I cut them in lengthwise.
Stir Fried Squid and Shrimp Pieces

Shrimp and Squid Noodle |
I stir fried some shrimp and squid pieces with salt and black pepper to taste along with sweet bell pepper. Then fold in the saffron noodle and give it a quick mix.
Combination of Seafood, Noodle and Vegetables

Shrimp and Squid Noodles with Sweet Bell Pepper |
It turned out quite scrumptious, and you can easily adapt this dish anyway you want such as replacing the shrimp/squid with beef, chicken or pork pieces! Mix and match different vegetables with whatever you have in the house.
The main point here is that you can feed your family delicious and healthy food without going over budget.

It looks pretty good. I've never had shrimp though, so I might put something else in.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Icy Blue, I popped over here from Penny (Joyful's) blog. Glad to meet you. I will be back for another visit. Greetings Jo, East Africa
ReplyDeleteIcy, this sounds scrumptious and I'm betting would be fantastic with pork. Love bell peppers so I will try this one. Thanks for Sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious to me!
ReplyDeleteyesterday was my son's birthday. I cooked black pepper shrimps.
ReplyDeleteI don't cook saffron noodles but rice.
I never tried adding saffron powder to noodles, the color looks wonderful. And I'm happy the bell peppers are priced reasonably now. :)
ReplyDeletelooks so yummy Icy, I still have to try adding saffron to noodles, thanks for sharing, love to learn a lot more variety in cooking
ReplyDeleteAnd you can cook too...wow!
ReplyDeleteRed peppers never look so good. I haven't been coking much lately, missed it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cookbook entry! You may have one of those in your future! Delicious.....more so,if I edit the word "squid" from it. Ewwww... :)
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't have a complaint from me with that dish. I LOVE squid. There's a Japanese restaurant up the street that has whole grilled squid for just $6. I could eat it every day!
ReplyDeleteI love versatile recipes. If only hubby were more versatile. lol
ReplyDeletelooks beautiful tasty
