Video recipe for Asian stir fry noodles



Servings: 3

Ingredients:
14 oz rice noodles
1 medium onion, sliced
1 chicken breast (half), cut into bite size cubes or strips
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 cup beansprouts
1 tbsp ginger and garlic paste
2 medium eggs
3 Tbsp cooking oil
¾ tsp turmeric powder
2 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
2 Tbsp sesame seed oil
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp chili sauce

Let's cook:

First you need to soak your rice noodles. Put them in cold or look warm water for about 40 minutes or until soften.

Before you start with Asian wok dishes, heat your wok or pan extremely, because immediately when you put something in the pan, it will cool a bit, and if you don't heat it up enough the ingredients will start to cook and not fry. This is a stir fry not a sauté or simmer dish OK.

So, first add in the cooking oil. When it's hot enough add in cubed chicken breast. Fry for about two or three minutes. Then add the ginger garlic paste and mix again.
Now the veggies. Add in sliced red and green pepper and carrots. Fry for a minute, add in the turmeric and mix.
Take soaked noodles and add them to your veggies and chicken. Mix everything hourly for about a minute and then add around half cup of water. Water will help soften the noodles.
Now start adding the sauces. As you can see in the video, I didn't use any salt until now. Soy and oyster sauce are very salty so there is no need to add in more salt, but if you want you can add it when frying the meat and veggies.
I am adding first the soy sauce, than oyster sauce, sesame oil, and for a bit sourness add the rice wine vinegar. We also need to spice up the dish with some chili sauce.  Now mix everything thoroughly. At the end, add in the bean sprouts and onions. You could use also spring onions, it would be maybe even better but regular yellow onion also works great with this dish.  

Now put the noodles on the side a bit. Pour in beaten eggs and coat the noodles with them. Fry for just one more minute and you are done.
This is it, we are finished.
One more tip…Be careful with this dish so you don't overcook the veggies. They still need to have that crunch to them. So work fast and you will get the right results.

Now all you need to do is serve and dig in.
