    Instant Curry Ramen

    This is another super easy recipe that transforms the Instant Ramen into a delicious and nutritious meal.

    Fish Sauce Teriyaki Chicken

    To make Teriyaki Sauce, I use Sugar, Soy Sauce and Mirin. One day I used Fish Sauce instead of Soy Sauce. I thought Garlic and Citrus Juice were definitely needed. I added Chilli as well.
