When I was in China with my mum, the hotel "buffet" breakfast usually involved plain rice porridge to which you added condiments and toppings (usually soya sauce, salt, pepper, and a bunch of salted vegetables). It was simple and filling and you had only yourself to blame if you didn't like what was in the bowl.
In the same vein, spicy noodles will give you a quick and simple start to the day:
- Wheat noodles (1 cake; I prefer wheat noodles over rice noodles because the latter can be too absorbent)
- Dominos chili flakes (1 packet)
- Soya sauce to taste (usually 1 teaspoon or so)
- Vinegar (a bit less than the soya sauce)
- Garlic oil (1-2 teaspoons/to taste; mind the greasiness!)
Mix items 2-5 together while the noodles are boiling, drain the noodles when they're cooked, dump it in the mix, and toss everything together. Get it down your neck (chopsticks work best) before your Enfant Terrible wanders by and expresses curiosity and you offer him some out of politeness and there's half of your breakfast gone.
"Wow, it tastes so street!"
