This super simple noodle recipe is a great side for Chinese dishes, or could even serve as a light meal in its own right.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients
  • 150 gbean sprouts
  • 1.5 tspdark soy sauce
  • 200 gmedium egg noodles
  • 2pak choi / bok choy (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tspsesame oil
  • 3spring onions / scallions (cut into strips)

Method

  1. 1.

    Place the noodles in boiling water for 4 minutes until they are soft, remove from the water and spread out on a clean tea towel/dish towel to cool.

    Drying the noodles out on a tea towel helps to stop them sticking to the wok

  2. 2.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until just starting to smoke, then add the pak choi and cook for a minute.

  3. 3.

    Once softened, push the pak choi to the back of your wok, add the soy sauce and sesame oil and add the noodles and bean sprouts.

  4. 4.

    With a spatular, push the noodles from the centre out to the edges in a circular motion, coating in the sauce, until softened and cooked through.

  5. 5.

    Mix everything together, and serve with the spring onions/scallions over the top, and a little more soy sauce if desired.
