So I raided the local Chinese/Japanise/Thai supermarket today

Got some random instant noodle type things and some other ingredients.

Stupidly forgot to get some coconut milk, but I think I've got some decent stuff to start experimenting but looking for recipie ideas, mostly stir fry or noodle soup type stuff I guess, but before I insult Uncle Rogers ancestors, any tips?

I quite often do a stir-fry type thing with chicken and random mixed veg and pre-made sauces from tesco/sanisbury etc. but the sauces are a bit bland.

I assume the pastes will have cooking instructions on them?

Yeah but I'm guessing they are quite concentrated, so probably 3 or 4 dishes out of each pot of paste?

Yeah the bottom ones I'll just do like a pot noodle, put hot water on them as a quick snack.

The hot and sour instant noodles were bloody deee-lish!

I'm going to attempt a yellow curry stir-fry type thing for dinner!

I'm not sure why anyone would use olive oil for frying, chinese style or otherwise... it's more used as a dressing, or an ingredient in a cold sauce/salsa?
