Firecracker Noodle Stir Fry
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- 230g medium egg noodles (typically 4 nests)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 red peppers, deseeded and thinly sliced
- 100g baby sweetcorn, quartered lengthways then halved (smaller ones just halved lengthways)
- 100g mangetout
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger
- 200g beansprouts
- 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Sesame seeds, to garnish
For the sauce
- 60ml light soy sauce
- 2 heaped tbsp brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes, plus extra to garnish if desired
- ¼ tsp white pepper
1. Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions (they’re typically simmered in boiling water for around 4 minutes). Drain and toss with the sesame oil.
2. Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over a high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the peppers and baby sweetcorn and fry for 2 minutes until they start to soften very slightly, then add the mangetout and fry for a further minute. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for around 30 seconds until they just begin to colour.
4. Take the wok off the heat and add the noodles a few portions at a time (so they don’t clump up), then pour in the sauce. Place the wok back on the heat and toss the noodles until just coated, then add the beansprouts and spring onions. Toss for another minute or so to warm everything through, thicken the sauce and soften the beansprouts slightly.
5. Garnish with sesame seeds (and more chilli flakes, if you dare!)
