Fried noodles

Hi Natty!  How are you today, my love?  I hope everything is going fabulously for you.  I'm doing OK, alhamdulillah.  Today is laundry day, and in the evening I did some burning.  It hasn't rained in 2 days, so I took the opportunity to burn whatever burns.  Today it was dried up banana leaves.  I made fried noodles for dinner.  I wasn't happy with my last batch of chow mein.  I think I'm just bored with it.  The chicken I used tasted like boiled chicken, which it was.  I guess I could have used fresh white meat, but what would I do with all this boiled chicken meat?  Give it to the kitten?  She's getting kind of porky, she needs to start eating like the adults, they're both muscular but not fat.  Spoiled brat cats.  So I used the boiled chicken again today, but I spiced it up with powdered turmeric to mask the boiled chicken aura.  I also added some fried shrimp in there: I coated the shrimp, shells and all, in flour then fried them until crispy, then chopped them up and added them into the mix.  You would probably prefer peeled shrimp, which more expensive and more work, but you must try shrimp with the shells on fried crispy.  It's good!  The locals love it!  I forgot to buy scallions, so I opted for dried onions and salted radish.  I wanted to make the noodles drier and greasier today, which worked.  I think today's dinner was a success.  But I'll probably get bored with this version too in the future.

Red with color!  Looks like candy, the backdrop does!
