Ingredients

2 servings

  • 200 g Chow Mein noodles (or egg noodles, pre-cooked)
  • 100 g mung bean sprouts (fresh)
  • 1 pc carrot (cut into fine julienne strips)
  • 2 leaves Napa cabbage (sliced into strips)
  • 2 pc scallions (cut into segments)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce (mushroom-based)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

  1. Make sure the pre-cooked noodles are thoroughly drained and free of excess water.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over very high heat.
  3. Add the carrot strips and Napa cabbage, stir-frying rapidly for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Toss in the noodles and scallion segments, stir-frying for another 2 minutes to sear the noodles.
  5. Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the mixture, tossing everything together quickly to combine.
  6. Toss in the bean sprouts at the very end, cook for a brief 30 seconds, and serve immediately.
