I love udon noodles too!
When I'm cooking just for me I like to fry tofu with Thai peanut sauce. [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]
I'm usually just cooking for myself (hurray being a bachelor), so my cooking usually involves turning on the oven and throwing something in. I suppose I do a bit of grilling in the summer, though.
The only thing I have any competance in making from scratch are pancakes and crepes.
I also like to make my own burgers.
Tomato Soup.. with vegetables and meat balls.
NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
I can barely cook so I always end up making pasta. But even then, the sauce is all from jars :D
I'm really terrible at cooking in general, but my girlfriend is an amazing cook so I try to watch her cook and then replicate it myself. I've managed to be able to learn how to cook one if my favorite meals now, Spaghetti Bolognase !! Next dish which I need to learn from her is my favorite Japanese meal, Chicken Katsu Curry!!
I love to make pasta - specifically, the sauce for it. I tend to use the jarred stuff as the base, and then I throw in onions and some choice veggies along with some herbs and sometimes soy sauce. It's soooo good.
I also really enjoy making fried chicken cutlets. Yumz.
Garlic prawns on tops of a rare/medium-rare filet mignon with a side of truffled mashed potato & steamed broccoli
nothing fancy but easy to whip up on those long lonely nights
Peanut butter and jelly.
Pasta Alioli. Very easy to make, tastes delicious, and it's sooo cheap.
Depends on my mood really. Sometimes I will make stir-fry (ginger ans sesame oil are key!), if I have more time a hearty spaghetti, if not a quick rose sauce with some veggies and some protein (and lots of cheese).
Otherwise, various sandwiches often using chicken fingers for meat.
I have a staple of dishes that I rotate around. I like making stuff with ingredients that are always on hand. I make a lot of:
Tacos, spicy garlic shrimp, spaghetti, chicken in mushroom cream sauce w/roasted potatoes, chicken piccata w/ linguine, kimchi fried rice, tofu soup, stir fry, steak w/ mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes, breakfast foods like pancakes, scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, etc.
Looking at that list, I think I tend to eat very carb heavy. I looove potatoes. :greenie:
This is what I made for dinner a few nights ago:

Lemon & herb roasted chicken, rice pilaf, and seasoned fingerling potatoes.
For myself? I pretty much can cook anything my mom makes, but if I'm just going to feed myself I'll usually make a sandwich with some soup or carne asada with some rice and beans.
I do not cook. People from my ex to my mum to the fire service believe this is for the best.
