CHINESE CURRY NOODLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil the kettle and put the noodles in a large pan or bowl. Pour over enough boiled water to cover, pushing the noodles under the water to help them soften evenly. Set aside for 5-10 mins, until the noodles are completely soft. Mix the curry powder, turmeric, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and 1 tbsp water in a bowl.
• Heat the wok until very hot. Add the sunflower oil, onion and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 mins until softened and starting to brown in places. Drain the noodles and add to the pan, along with the sauce mixture and beansprouts. Stir-fry for a further 3-4 mins, tossing everything through the sauce, until hot. Adjust the seasoning with a little more soy or sugar, if you like, and scatter over the chilli, if you like more spice.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Drop in the rice noodles and boil until tender but firm to the bite, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Let the noodle air-dry and firm up in a colander for at least 30 minutes or as long as 2 to 3 hours; toss occasionally.
• When you are ready to prepare the dish, whisk together the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of the curry powder, and all of the sesame oil until blended.
• Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut or vegetable oil into a heavy skillet or wok set over moderately high heat.
• Pour in the egg mixture and immediately reduce the heat to low.
• Scramble the eggs until just set; turn out onto a plate and reserve.
• Return the skillet to moderately high heat and spoon in 1/2 tablespoon of the oil.
• Add the shrimp and stir fry until just barely cooked, about 1 minute (they will cook more later).
• Remove the shrimp and reserve in a small bowl.
• Return the skillet to moderately high heat and spoon in 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Add the pork and chicken and stir fry until just cooked, about 1 minute.
• Remove and reserve in a small bowl.
• Place a large, heavy wok over high heat.
• When very hot, spoon in 2 tablespoons of the oil.
• Add the ginger, garlic, chilies, and the remaining curry powder.
• Stir fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the Chinese pork or ham and red and green bell peppers and stir fry for 30 seconds.
• Sprinkle on 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and cook until it boils away.
• Push the ingredients to the sides of the wok and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Add the scallions, bean sprouts, and noodles and toss over high heat until very hot, about 30 seconds.
• Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Return the shrimp, pork, and chicken to the wok and add the soy sauce and sherry.
• Toss well and add the salt and the reserved scrambled eggs.
• Sprinkle on the cilantro and turn out onto a larger platter.
• Serve hot.
