Description
A recipe for simple, village-style fried yellow noodles that’s delicious and takes less than 30 minutes in total. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, and full of vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300g fresh yellow noodles
- 4 shallots
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 bird’s eye chillies
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 30 ml water
- 50g beansprouts
- 100g mustard leaves
Instructions
- Soak the noodles in room-temperature water for 10 minutes, to soften them and remove some of the starch. Strain and set aside.
- Blend or pound coarsely the: shallots, garlic, and bird’s eye chillies.
- Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pounded/blended paste and saute for 3 minutes.
- Add the pepper and salt. Saute for 1 minute.
- Add the light soy sauce, water and beansprouts. Cook for 4 minutes.
- Add the mustard leaves. Mix well.
- Add the noodles. Mix everything well, to make sure the noodles are coated with the remaining liquid. Fry until there’s no liquid in the pan. This should take 2-3 minutes.
- Serve and eat immediately!
Notes
- If you can’t find yellow noodles, replace them with dried ramen noodles.
- Adjust the number of chillies according to your taste. If you can’t tolerate spicy food, I suggest using 1 bird’s eye chill instead of 2.
- I’ve put ½ tsp salt as a guide, but you can modify it according to your taste. As the light soy sauce already contains salt, you might want to half the amount of salt you normally use.
