SINGAPORE CHOW MEIN RECIPES

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over the noodles in a bowl and leave for 4-5 mins until just starting to soften, or follow the pack instructions. Drain and leave in the sieve to steam-dry. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and set aside.
• Put all your ingredients in bowls next to the hob ready to use. Heat a wok over a high heat with 1 tbsp of the oil. Add the chilli, garlic, coriander stalks and ginger, and stir-fry for a couple of mins. Add the carrot, spring onions and shredded cabbage, and stir-fry for about 5 mins, then move all of it to one side of the wok. Add the remaining oil and fry the beaten egg, moving it around to incorporate into the veg. Add the prawns and stir for a few seconds until starting to turn pink. Add the pork, stir-fry to heat through and combine, then add the noodles and sauce, followed by the beansprouts. Stir-fry until the prawns are cooked through, then serve topped with coriander leaves.

Steps:

• 1. Peel the prawns but keep the tails intact. De-vein the prawns, by scoring lengthways along the back with a sharp knife. In a bowl, add the rice wine (or sherry), 2 tsp. of the ginger and the sesame oil and add the prawns. Toss to coat them well.
• 2. Cook noodles according to pack instructions, and drain. Finely chop the spring onions.
• 3. Heat a tbsp. of oil in a wok over a very high heat until very hot. Stir-fry the prawns in small batches until they turn pink (1-2 minutes). Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Pour away the oil and wipe the wok clean.
• 4. Reheat the wok with the remaining oil until very hot. Fry the curry and five spice powder until fragrant, add the spring onion and remaining ginger and stir-fry for one minute. Add the beansprouts and cook for 20 seconds, then add the prawns, stock, soy sauce, salt, sugar and pepper, and stir well.
• 5. Add the noodles and toss until they’re cooked.
