    Honey-Garlic Noodles with Shrimp & Greens

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    The second I panic that I'm running out of story ideas to accompany a new recipe and rattle my brains to think of something funny to share, up pops an opportunity that's often quite hard to resist - and one that's perfect to pair with this Honey Garlic Noodles recipe. I'm often asked by readers, friends, and even family, if I ever get embarrassed putting myself and my life "out there" for everyone else to read. Truth be told, I rarely ever think of my life as something other than juicy material for this lovely 'ol blog!

    Recipe for Honey-Garlic Noodles with Shrimp & Greens taken from www.hookedonheat.com. Visit site for detailed recipe.

    A day hardly goes by without me beaming and declaring that a certain incident would make a wonderful precedent to a recipe I had planned. I honestly believe my mind works this way for TWO main reasons:

    1. I was painfully shy and the biggest introvert I know as a teen, and was easily embarrassed even when I was complimented on anything I had done well. As an adult, I now know who I am as a person and am confident enough to show my true self more often. I am still a bit of an introvert, but trust me when I say this is a huge improvement of what I once was!
    2. Hubby Dear LOVES, and I use that word strongly - hence the caps and bold font, having a post revolve around him. Even the mere mention of him in a post makes him beam! And since he does play a MAJOR part in my life, it's hard to not have an anecdote without him.

    Talking about this has inspired me to share some of my not-so-embarrassing-to-me things that I do often. So here goes:

    • I talk to myself ALL THE TIME! And not just a word here and there - I mean I have real conversations with myself, two-sided ones even. Which I why I'm rarely ever bored when alone. I am awesome company, if I may say so myself!
    • Every now and then I imagine myself being a rock star and rock on to my own tunes in the bathroom with a shampoo bottle as my mic!
    • Even though I grew up and spent the first 16 years of my life in Kuwait, I never tasted Hummus till I moved to Canada when Hubby Dear took me out for Lebanese food on one of our initial dates. I decided to give it a try to make him stop looking at me funny when I told him about it and found it delicious! Growing up, Hummus was a once-a-week show at our dinner table, but I always thought it looked gooey and honestly, how could a mash of beans EVER taste good? I kick myself every time I take a spoonful now for having to miss out on all those years of Hummus heaven.
    • When I wake up in the middle of the night and Hubby Dear is snoring away to glory, I always whisper "I love you" into his ear - just so he never forgets!
    • I love to dance. Not at a club or a party like all normal people do - but in all places considered odd; like at the mall, on the street, or in the car. I'm always doing a jig when I'm happy, and I try to be that most of the time.
    • I sometimes lightly kick Hubby Dear when he snores at night, keeping me up because of it. Then when he wakes up with a jerk, I pretend to be asleep. It almost always works and he goes back to sleep without snoring again!
    • Although it's been over five years since I started this blog, I still get overly excited and gush every time I receive a comment.
    • I must've erased at least three more confessions that I wrote before publishing this post. See, I told you I was still a bit introverted!

    My, confessions sure make me hungry and I have just the right Noodles recipe for you today. Hubby Dear is away on business, and Baby Dear and his lovely Mama have been cuddled up in front of the fireplace in their jammies all day. One look at the dreary, snowy weather outside, and I knew I needed a big bowl of some warm and comforting noodles! Try it, and you won't be sorry.

      Wow, you're back! I wondered what had happened to your blog. Congratulations on being a new(ish) mother. I have a 17 month old daughter, and she's the best part of every day for us. And like your son, she's quite the foodie 🙂

      Hi,

      What would be a good substitute for bok choy for someone who lives in India? We don't get any bok choy here! 🙂

      I'm so happy to see you back - as a long time lurker, I've been missing your recipes. I'm completely obsessed with Indian cooking right now and am always looking for great new vegetarian recipes. BTW, I talk to myself too but my lips move when I do it. Very embarrassing!

      Hi...... Really enjoy cooking your recipes so please keep them coming. You have used honey- garlic sauce in this one..... Is it a readymade sauce or can you make it at home..... I think it will be important to get the sauce right as it will be the main flavour!!!

        Hi Gauri, you should be able to find readymade Honey-Garlic sauce in most grocery stores.

      The honey and the greens, along with the shrimp and the garlic is too good a combo to resist. Exotic recipe, with delightful flavours! Better, your recipe is a healthy variation using very little oil to cook. Lifestyle diseases being rampant today, it pays to prepare a great meal at home and share it with your family.

      I just found this blog and I'm looking forward to trying some of your recipes. I'm American engaged to an Indian. I love to cook but had never tried cooking Indian food before I met my fiance. I was an expert in Mexican food, great at Greek and Italian but Indian was too intimidating.

      So now that I have started cooking Indian food I have started to gather my own recipes. I have a lot more to learn from you! Thanks!

      Oh wow!This looks so delicious and inviting!

      Seems you and I have a lot in common...I too was painfully shy as a kid and had this habit of hiding my 'self' from everyone else.But life is the greatest teacher,and with time it has taught me to change my outlook and open up,so much so that I feel a much liberated,happier and contended person as I am now!

      Loved the recipe and the presentation!

      Cheers!

      Thanks for the recipe, btw--I'm going to substitute tofu for shrimp so it'll be compatible with my vegan family. But a separate side of the shrimp for myself.

      Hooray! I'm so glad you're blogging again! I'm a longtime reader and lover of your recipes but this is my first time commenting. I just made your gobi manchurian the other night for my husband and mother-in-law and it was a huge hit, as always. Keep up the great work, and congrats on the new baby!
