Equipment

Ingredients

300 g (10.6 oz) medium egg noodles
a splash of sesame oil
3  tbsp  groundnut or vegetable oil
1 onion sliced
3  tbsp  light soy sauce
2  tbsp  dark soy sauce
150 g (5.3 oz) beansprouts
1  tbsp  sesame oil
2 spring onions thinly sliced, to garnish

Instructions

Cook the noodles 1 minute less than the packet instructions (around 3 minutes in boiling water). Drain in a colander then return to the pan and toss with a splash of sesame oil (this will stop the noodles from sticking together).
Heat a wok on a high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the oil and swirl to coat the wok, then add the onion and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Next, add the light and dark soy sauces and the cooked noodles. Toss to combine and cook for 3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the noodles are heated through.
Add the beansprouts, toss to combine and stir-fry for 1 minute. Drizzle over the sesame oil, stir to combine, then garnish with the sliced spring onions.
Transfer to a large serving bowl or serve straight from the wok.

Notes

Sauce enhancements – for extra umami, try adding hoisin sauce or oyster sauce.

Extra vegetables – toss in julienned carrots, peppers or pak choi for colour and texture.

Protein additions – turn these noodles into a main dish by adding some shredded chicken, prawns, tofu or beef strips.
