Ingredients
- 250g egg noodles (Hong Kong-style thin egg noodles work best)
- 2 cups bean sprouts (rinsed)
- 2 spring onions (julienne in 4cm lengths)
- 1 large carrot (julienne in 4cm lengths or grated)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cooking rice wine
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp minced ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp sugar
Method
1. Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the noodles. Boil the noodles for 1 minute if using fresh noodles, or 2 minutes if using dried noodles.
3. Rinse the noodles in cold water, then drain thoroughly.
4. Turn the wok to a high heat and add the vegetable oil.
5. Once the oil is hot, add the carrots and spring onions, then add the noodles and stir everything together. Spread the noodles out as much as you can, so they form one layer. Fry without stirring for 5 minutes to allow the noodles to dry and become crispy in places.
6. Turn over the noodles to fry on the other side for another 5 minutes.
7. Add 1 cup of bean sprouts, reserving the rest for serving.
8. Add the sauce ingredients.
9. Stir the noodles till they are all coated in the sauce and the bean sprouts are lightly wilted.
10. Serve the noodles while hot and top with some reserved crispy bean sprouts. Enjoy!
