No matter how many times I refresh my TikTok, the same style of video appears.

It's of someone standing in their kitchen, mixing salmon and rice together before eating it with chopsticks and seaweed. If you're also on the social media app, I'm going to assume the same thing's happening to you.

I tried the ramen noodles dish and it was not good. My partner took one bite and nearly gagged. It's not good..

I don't TikTok but I'm happy to share my family lockdown recipe with you.
We make a big batch of "Asian broth", usually a mix of a curry paste and coconut milk cooked until combined.  We keep a jug of it in the fridge and use a cup or two to boil 2 minute noodles.  Delicious and quick!
