Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Garnish
Olives
Extra Meat Toppings
Blue Cheese
Parsley

1. Slice Baguette breads diagonally. Cut regular slices by the baker into two, as seen on the above photos.

2. Spread tomato sauce evenly on each bread.

Had been making this recipe whenever I crave for home made pizza and since I'm trying to clean the fridge on time before Wednesday, I decided to finish off some of the ingredients that I have left. Easy as 1 2 3 recipe. Even children can do this at home. 

The holy week just started yesterday and I hope that everyone will have a blessed week ahead 'til easter sunday :)

1. In a cooking ware: Pour water, Mixed vegetables, Onions, Garlic, Oil and Dash of black pepper. Mix and simmer for a few seconds.

2. Add in Chicken, tbsp of Shrimp paste, tbsp of Tomato pesto, Dash of oregano, Dash of basil. Mix and simmer for a few seconds.

3. Add Sliced tomatoes

4. Add Noodle powder (came with the noodles cup), Dash of Lea & Perrins, tbsp of Sriracha Hot Sauce.

5. Add instant noodles. Simmer for a few minutes until noodles are soft.

6. Add in Parsley and Onions stalks. Simmer for a few seconds.

Finish off by adding set aside chicken pieces on top, boiled egg, some onion stalks and for this one, I added a piece of Kimchi then some Korean pepper paste.

The first serving that I made a week ago.

PS Don't add in the entire chicken bits on the soup, save some for garnish. 

I know that for this very simple dish, I added in so many ingredients but that is why I call it an experiment. I am into spices. For me it is important to have a flavourful experience as you eat or as one eats because it keeps one guessing on what that taste might be.

Anyhow, if you noticed - I kept saying a few seconds on the procedures, mainly because we all know how to make or prepare instant noodles and it really cooks within seconds, so the key is to make sure that the noodles aren't over cooked. I suggest just let it simmer for a minute then it's good to go.

PS Broccoli and Shrimps were boiled with no added spices. Salad was the Potato Salad that I made a few days ago.

I'm not good when it comes to using ovens. But this particular dish was something that I learned while I was staying with my Aunt in Sweden. They usually like baking/ oven cooking their food than frying and I do understand why because too much fried food is unhealthy and so I'm trying to remember how she prepared baked salmon and chicken. And since today is no meat day for us Catholics - it was a great idea to be making this. 

Lately, I've been posting foodie stuff on here - well, it's too obvious that I've been bored and had been trying to practice the skills that I thought I wasn't capable of some 9 years ago but here I am, I am able to prepare dishes that looks fantastic and at some point taste fantastic (not diggin' sure but bet it's really good).

I hope one day, I can invite friends over and cook some of these platter meals to them. It'd be fun. So, enjoy and I hope that this recipe helped. And PS, I really like the red bell pepper thing. Been hooked to it since I tried it in Manila a few months ago.
