Whenever I run out of time and need a quick fix lunch for Alycia and Sherilyn, this is what I’ll prepare… their all-time favorite:

Cold cha soba (cold green tea noodles) with chilled organic cha soba sauce, sprinkled with some toasted sesame seeds for added protein and calcium, a fried egg for more protein (yup, growing kids need lots of protein and eggs are the best source of protein) for them each and of course a soup of the day.  This is definitely healthier than eating out.  If we eat out during lunch, it’s always either chicken rice with char siu and siew yoke or noodles with thick black sauce.   I don’t really like the idea of my kids stuffing their tummies full with food laden with MSG and sodium. Even simple peanut butter sandwiches are way better than outside food.  Agree mummies?
