Part of the recipe is for instant noodles.

I see small packets with different flavours but they are not something I
fancy.

Anyway these are what I have bought.

Good luck with the recipe. It looks pretty tasty. What I'd do is boil the noodles in water until you can separate them but with the noodles still pretty firm. Then drain and add to dish. OTOH, it would be interesting to see how Ms. Nagi's method works.

I have a package of dried daikon that I'll probably cook in a way similar to your recipe i.e., stir fried with beef in a very dark sauce. In my case, it's going to be pretty spicy.

I suppose either one would be fine. I have never seen any products like that sold here. Mostly it's Japanese and Korean noodles that are sold as the instant type. As far as I know, they don't contain eggs. I'll check out Nagi's website. It uses ingredients found in the UK so that should work well for you. I probably won't be able to find the products listed but that's not too much of a problem.

I make something very similar only I add diced celery, bok choy, and
sometimes mushrooms, but I prefer to use left over roast beef/steak
julienned rather than ground beef... I also add freshly ground white
peppercorns and lots of ginger. Sometimes it becomes a soup,
thickened with a corn starch slurry, and then stir in beaten eggs to
make it egg drop.

I like daikon radishes but I've never seen them dried... guess I'd
need an Oriental grocery... there is a large one in the Capital
district but it's 35 miles each way.

Yesterday cauliflower was on sale, $1.99 a large head, I bought two
and steamed two for dinner last night, with fried top round steaks
(London broil), just the florets, I ate the center part/hearts raw
sprinkled with kosher salt... cook's treat. I do the same with all
leafy veggie hearts; cabbage, lettuces, kale, etc. I tossed the
cauliflower leaves outside last night, and six rolls starting to mold,
all gone this AM. I keep telling my wife not to buy those bags of 2
dozen Portugese rolls unless she helps me eat them, but even if some
go off they are a bargain as at BJs that bag of 24 is $2.99, here in
town a bag of six is $2.99. And since the critters eat those going
off I don't consider them wasted.

thanks for the tip. Although I have already purchased my seeds for
the garden to avoid wanting something that is sold out, I still ramble
through all the seed catalogues that show up this time of year.
I never got my garden totally cleaned out or the lawn completely raked
as the snow, ice and freezing showed up. Lotta work next spring.

We got caught short with the end of season, too. I still have pots
with dead things on the deck. I hate to leave that around to contend
with next year.

We did relent and have the landscapers do the leaves, though. Much
better to have it done than to do it - at least this year.

Leaves are easy to make disappear, mow with mulching blades.

my leaves are under snow. Our neighbors had one of their trees fall on
their roof because trees around here were mostly still loaded with
leaves when the wet sticky snow and wind came through. I worried
yesterday that one of the tree cutters and roofers was going to slip
and fall off the roof because of the ice and snow. I can hear chain
saws going all around us for several days now. This weather is way
too early for us.

I tried growing bok choy a few times but had little luck, only got a
few very small plants.

It's never a good idea to have a large tree that were it to fall it
can reach your house... there are plenty of very attractive small
trees... red bud forest pansy will do well on the shady side:

I use a rake and/or leaf blower to get them away from the house. Then I
go over them with the lawn tractor. The mower blade chops the leaves
into smaller bits that look like crap for a day or two and then they
magically disappear. When leaves are heavy I make several passes with
the discharge aimed toward the road. All it takes is a couple cars and
trucks passing by and the leaves are sucked into oblivion.

I have two huge maple trees in my front yard. About 5 years ago a very
large branch snapped off and landed on my roof. The adjuster than came
out to see it said she had been sent out about a branch but this one was
more like a large tree. Thank goodness for insurance because it did
$24,000 damage. They did my roof, fascia, soffits, eaves troughs and
repaired a hole in the exterior wall.

After all that work and learning an important lesson did have those
trees removed?
The first week we moved in here we had seven huge trees removed from
around the house, not only were they dangerous the view out the
windows was a wall of leaves. They were very nice trees but were
planted about 15' from the house... that monster had to go, it was
ruining the roof:

When I had a maple tree in my front yard I'd rake the leaves about a foot
away from the base. Then I'd used my Toro walk-behind mower with the
grass catcher bag on the back. It would chop and suck up those leaves in
a jiffy and my yard would look great with little effort. That tree had
l.o.t.s of rot so I had it taken down about 3 years ago.

But almost 12 years ago I had a HUGE limb from my backyard gigantic hack-
berry tree to fall onto my roof. Thankfully, no damage to the house but
what my homeowners insurance paid me was enough to have the whole tree
taken down and stump ground up. That paved the way for my much needed
addition onto the back of my house

I have been after the town about them. They are both on town property.
One is within the easement of the main road in front and the other sits
over that line and the one for the unopened road allowance that runs
between us and the neighbour.

My son just moved into his house two weeks ago. His neighbour's tree
has branches sticking out over his property and some of the ends are
rubbing on his roof. I have ladders and an extending pole trimmer, so
one of these days I will be going down there and helping him prune them
back to the property line.

Who wow, that IS close and I'm sure the shade was appreciated in the summer-
time. But like you said, it had to go. As for the neighbors' trees hanging
over the property line and rubbing his roof; maybe you'll have some decent
winter days to do this? It will be so much easier to see what needs to be
cut back without all the leaves.

that's about right, neighbors said the insurance was going to pay
$21,000 for their new roof.

Beautiful tree but way too close to the house.

My neighbors took down one tree (my favorite, a sugar maple) and it
has given sun and space to some not so nice maple which quickly grew
limbs out over my yard by far. Giant limbs, and they wound like
crazy during wind storms. I thought they'd come through my window
during H. Sandy. One landed in my pool. We had those limbs removed.

I wish they'd take the whole thing down, now the much higher branches
are way over. Fingers crossed they stay on rather then fall on my
house..
