Thinking Ahead

Hello and welome. This is not a recipe blog post.  It is a "think ahead" post. A couple of weeks ago, influenced by southeast Asian video recipes I'd been watching obsessively, I wanted to try one of my own of my own design.  I had marinated chicken thighs and seared them in a wok. They turned out perfect, as you can see, above.  The fried-noodle-egg part did not. This is the thinking ahead for next time part. First, I used noodles that took forever to boil, but I'd used them because I knew they'd keep their shape, making it easy to transport them to the wok and oil without splashing. Next, I used far too many eggs; again, an influence of those giant woks over wood fire videos.  I will say, however, the flavors were spot on with the onions and garlic. Finally, next time, I will use maybe half of less than half of the eggs and I will use proper ramen noodles and will just need to be careful and plan ahead. No short cuts next time!

Question, gentle readers:  What other ingredients would You add to this?  I'd ❤ to hear from you!  Thank You!
