- Easy
- Serves 4 as a side
Ingredients
- 165g medium egg noodles (3 nests)
- 4 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 white onion, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 100g white cabbage, julienned
- 80g green beans, sliced
- 100g bean sprouts
- 1½ tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1½ tbsp light soy sauce
- 2-3 spring onion stalks (the green parts), finely sliced
Method
- STEP 1
Bring a large pot of water to the boil for the noodles. Cook until al dente, drain, and rinse in cold water. Keep the noodles in a bowl of cold water to stop them sticking.
- STEP 2
Heat the oil in a wok, then stir-fry the onion for 3-4 mins or until light brown. Add the carrot, cabbage, beans and sprouts, and stir-fry, stirring and tossing continuously, for 1-2 mins – do not overcook the vegetables otherwise they will lose their crunch.
- STEP 3
Add the noodles, then both soy sauces and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry over a high heat until the colour of the noodles is even – a folding or scoop-and-lift motion works well for this. Ensure everything is mixed well, add the sliced spring onions and serve.
