Learn how to make delicious Chinese Stir Fry Noodles

Instead of always patronizing the Chinese Buffet Restaurant when you want to eat Chinese food, why not try  this recipe for Chinese stir fry noodles.

• 2 tbsp oil
• 100g fresh noodles or 75g dried noodles
• ½ cup (about 3 oz / 75g) proteins
• 2 cups vegetables, chopped packed cups)
• 2 tbsp Real All Purpose Chinese Stir Fry Sauce
• ¼ cup water (4 tbsp)
• Flavouring – your choice
  INSTRUCTIONS
  1. If using dried noodles, cook them according to the packet instructions. Also see notes for tips.
  2. Prepare the protein by slicing them against the grain into ¼” / 0.5cm slices or ⅔” / 2cm cubes.
  3. Heat oil in wok over high heat. When oil is hot, add Base Flavouring of choice and stir fry for about 10 seconds – don’t let them burn!
  4. Add ingredients in order of length of time to cook, starting with those that take the longest but do not add leafy greens. Start with onion and proteins (together), followed by broccoli and other vegetables in “floret” form, followed by carrots, stems of leafy greens, zucchini, eggplant, beans and other firm vegetables, and lastly cabbage and snow peas and other vegetables that take little time to cook. DO NOT add bean sprouts or leafy greens – you will add them in the next step.
  5. Remove from heat, add leafy greens (leafy part of bok choy, spinach etc) and bean sprouts (if using), the noodles (use your fingers to break them up), the Sauce, water and Extra Flavours (optional).
  6. Return to heat, gently toss for 1 minute to heat through the noodles and for the sauce to thicken. If the water evaporates too quickly, add a bit more.
  7. Serve immediately.
