Quick and easy noodles are one of my favourite weeknight meals, especially after a long shift in the kitchen. Here's how to make sweet and spicy noodles in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 spring onion, sliced (greens and whites separated)
- thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely crushed
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp soy bean paste
- 1 tbsp chilli crisps
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp black vinegar
- pinch of MSG
- 150g raw peanuts (5.3 oz)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 packet (approximately 450g) fresh egg noodles (1 lb)
Directions
Ensure all ingredients are ready before you start cooking. Crush the garlic, slice the spring onion, and finely slice the ginger.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, soy bean paste, chilli crisps, soy sauce, black vinegar, and MSG. Mix well and set aside.
- Add the peanuts to a dry wok over high heat and toast them for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
- Add the oil to the wok with the toasted peanuts. Add the finely sliced ginger and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Then, add the white part of the spring onion.
- Add the fresh egg noodles to the wok. Toss them 1-2 times before adding the sauce.
- Continue to stir-fry over high heat for 2 minutes, tossing and stirring constantly to ensure the sauce is evenly distributed over the noodles.
- Plate the dish and garnish with the green part of the spring onion.
