Ooh, interested. I've only ever been able to eat Chinese from one takeaway - all others make me do a white guy version of the scene in Hitch... Including places like Wagamamas.
Mrs Sway however, absolutely adores chinese, so very up for learning (and maybe even figuring out what it is that causes me to be so ill).

I reckon that you have Chinese sesame paste, you need that to make the best noodle dish in the world

Spicy Thai Chicken Noodle Ramen (I've copied and pasted the description, I do not say some of the words he says!)
https://www.instagram.com/onlyscrans/reel/DAvVJOkN...
INGREDIENTS
1 clove garlic
1 inch ginger knob
1 red chilli
3 spring onions
Coriander
Noodles
Thai red curry paste
2 tbsp veg oil
1 tin coconut milk
1 chicken breast
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp sugar
300ml Water
Pak Choi
Chilli oil
METHOD
Chop up the clove of garlic, ginger and a chilli. As well as some spring onion and coriander for garnish later on.
We’re going to poach the chicken so it pulls apart. Very simple, stick a tit in a pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes until cooked.
Meanwhile. Fry off those aromatics in a bit of oil until they start to go soft, then add a cute little pot of Thai curry paste.
Stir that until it’s saucy before adding 300ml of water.
Pour in a can of coconut milk and stir until all the lumps have gone and it’s silky smooth.
Add a splash of soy sauce and a dash of fish sauce then it’s time to toss the noodles in. As well as some healthy leafy greens. I’m using pak choi like a Tory b
d but if you can’t get it, spinach will do.
Pull the chicken until it’s more shredded than the blokes around the Love Island swimming pool.
Add it to the pot.
You’re ready to serve now.
Get it all in a bowl, and grab your garnish from earlier. Some coriander, spring onions, chilli and chilli oil too if you’re a hard man. A big squeeze of lime and you are DONE.
When I say this bowl of food will change your life, please do not think for one minute that I’m exaggerating. I’m passing this recipe down as a service to mankind.

This a go to for me if I can get my hands on any Thai basil. Holy basil is a little more difficult to find but Sainsburys or Waitrose sometimes have the regular stuff in. I tend to add some finely sliced shallots in to fry first and a splash of fish sauce and tamarind paste goes into a bowl with the other sauces/sugar and mixed before adding to the stir fry.
I also tend to use chicken thighs as I prefer them.
It's so good.
