FRESH CHINESE NOODLES RECIPE RECIPES

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.

Steps:

• 1. Peel the ginger and garlic and finely grate into a large bowl.
  2. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and a pinch of black pepper, then mix to make a dressing.
  3. Trim and shred the cabbage and put it into a large pan of boiling salted water with the broccoli (cut into florets first, if using fresh) and noodles to cook for around 3 minutes, then add the mangetout for a final minute.
  4. Drain it all well, then toss in the bowl of dressing.
  5. Fry the eggs in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with a lug of olive oil until cooked to your liking (I like mine with a runny yolk).
  6. Divide the noodles between bowls, pop an egg on top of each one, and serve drizzled with chilli sauce for that all-important added kick.
