Yesterday's vaguely Asian noodle dish

was good, not to say delicious, so here's the recipe (which, like almost all my recipes, may of course be altered if one of the ingredients isn't to your taste):
Roughly (or finely, if you hate feeling the pieces) dice one big onion
roughly grate a few carrots
heat a bit of oil in a big frying pan (or of course wok) and add first carrots then onions
cut champignons (or shiitake, if you have them) into medium-thin slices, add to pan
add two or three finely diced cloves of garlic
cut up a bunch of chard leaves, put into bowl, pour boiling water over them
Once the contents of the frying pan have reached a satisfying state (more or less crunchy, just as you prefer), add chards (without the water)
season with soy sauce, cayenne pepper, cumin, powdered mustard seeds, cardamom
add (if you want) sliced grilled chicken breast
prepare Asian noodles according to recipe, add to pan, let sit for a minute so the flavours can mix
in the meantime de-seed and dice a tomato or cut up cherry tomatoes into small pieces
distribute contents of pan into plates, garnish with diced tomatoes, a bit of grated lime zest and fresh coriander
YUM!!!
I like spinach, but I hate the furry feeling on my teeth, so I prefer chards to spinach. If you have or like neither, you might try white cabbage, finely cut, or any other greens which taste nice if cooked
And replacing the chicken with prawns -- marinated in soy sauce and spices and fried in another pan -- might also be nice.

Not much else to report, except that I just had a look a the weather forecast till next Tuesday and am not amused. Dry heat will persist. I really, really wish for just one nice, grey, cool day with lots of rain. Just one, please?
