Who doesn’t like a plate of hearty Chinese food? If you are home quarantined or staying home during the Coronavirus lockdown, then this is the best meal recipe to try with basic ingredients.

Set aside after draining the water and adding two teaspoon oil to prevent noodles from sticking. Meanwhile, add olive oil, salt, pepper, soy sauce, Schezwan sauce and tomato sauce to a pan, and some corn flour to thicken the sauce. Add the chopped veggies and allow to cook for about five minutes. Mix with the noodles and serve hot.

Cream the butter and sugar till fluffy, then add eggs one after another. Beat well till combined. Add flour gradually and mix continuously. Spread the batter on a buttered pan and bake for 80 minutes at 350°F. Allow to cool before removing from pan

Why have the same old cuppa when you can whip things up on the coffee front? Get with the latest Insta coffee craze, and whip up some Dalgona coffee for yourself and your family. It’s simple to do as well: whip together equal parts of sugar, hot water and instant coffee in a glass, till you get a frothy, thick mixture. Fill your cup with ice and milk, then top up with the frothy coffee foam. It’s fun, refreshing and easy to do.
