Cooking Taiwanese style

I made this today. It was fairly nice though unfortunately the soy sauce we had wasn't the best so it ended up a bit blahy. It's quite a nice basic recipe though.
 
I have 2 chinese supermarkets right outside my front door, they import a lot of goods from asian areas.

I was just curious if you used mirin or drinking rice wine (sake).

:D

I work in the middle of Manchester and live not too far out so I'm fairly spoiled for choice in regards to Chinese supermarkets/etc. However, this was just some cheap stuff I had sitting around.

That looks familiar, I'll probably end up going today to get noodles so I'll let you know if it's the same. :)

Was it nice?

It's nice for cooking with - vile for drinking :p

If you mean this recipe then I found it pretty decent, though in many ways I reckon this would make a much nicer noodle soup with only a little modification.

So many asian dishes are similar that you can alter them to your tastes with very little changes really.

Go for Soba noodles! (buckwheat)

To be honest I mostly cook thai and korean food (in terms of asian stuff at least). I'll have to post up a recipe and some pictures of my dolsot bibimbap sometime.

Recently it has just been common Chinese meals for me but I've been reading up on a lot of Japanese recipes.

A lot of them sound fantastic, plus, I do want to learn some South Korean cuisine too. Both cultures fascinate me. :)
 
Bulgogi and bibimbap are just awesomely tasty and incredibly simple to make. Other korean dishes I've tried are good but haven't quite matched those for tastiness, aside from the teriyaki ginger chicken dupbap (sic) that the korean place near my work makes.
 
Glad this thread has been so well recieved, Frenchtart said you can adopt to anyway you wish , I'm not to sure about the soup part , however you can make it with less or more liquid depending on how you like it:)
