What are Chinese Noodles
Chinese noodles and vegetables stir-fry is a vibrant and flavorful dish that showcases the culinary traditions of Chinese cuisine. This dish typically features a variety of noodles, such as egg noodles, rice noodles, or wheat noodles, which serve as a hearty base.
The noodles are often stir-fried at high heat, allowing them to absorb the rich flavors of the accompanying ingredients. A colorful assortment of vegetables, including Onions, Carrots, and Bean Sprouts, are commonly added, providing both texture and nutritional value.
The stir-frying process not only enhances the natural sweetness of the vegetables but also creates a delightful contrast with the savory sauce, which may include soy sauce, oyster sauce, or hoisin sauce, along with garlic and ginger for added depth.
This dish is not only a staple in many Chinese households but also a popular choice in restaurants, celebrated for its balance of flavors and the ability to be customized with various proteins, such as chicken, beef, or tofu, making it a versatile option for a wide range of palates.
Cuisine:Chinese
ingredients
1 Brown Onion
1 Carrot
Bean Sprouts
15-30 g Soft Brown Sugar
2 tbs of Dark Soy Sauce
2 tbs Oyster Sauce
2 tsp of Mirin or Rice Wine
120 ml of Boiling Water (From Noodles)
Cooking Instructions
- Chop up your onion into large slices, make these as random as you like. Then peel your Carrot and slice it using a hand held potato peelet, so that you have thin slices.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, then add your nests of Noodles to the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and let the noodles cook in the water for 6 minutes.
- Add a splash of cooking oil to a Wok or a Deep frying pan. When the oil is hot stir-fry the vegetables for a few minutes (5 - 10).
- Add the Brown Sugar to the pan and mix it into the vegetables well, then continue cooking for a further 2 minutes.
- When the Vegetables are just cooked add the Soy Sauce, Mirin and Oyster Sauce to the pan and mix it up with a wooden spoon. Let this cook for a few minutes.
- Add the Noodles into the vegetables and combine them well with some tongs, make sure you add about 120ml of water from the noodle pan to the Stir-fry.
- Cook this for 5 minutes so that the dish is piping hot.
- You can serve this straight from the pan or you could decant it into a container and re-heat it in the Microwave.
You can make this sauce as thick or thin as you like. Add a splash of Corn-four slurry if you want it a bit thicker.
