Instructions

  1. Gently separate the rice noodles if they are stuck together, by passing them under hot water and then draining them.
  2. In a bowl, mix the two soy sauces, the oyster sauce and the sugar.
  3. Heat the wok over high heat with the oil, then fry the sliced garlic for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the noodles and the sauce, and toss over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly so they colour without sticking.
  5. Add the bean sprouts and spring onions, then toss for 1 more minute until the sprouts are tender but still crunchy.
  6. If you are using eggs, push the noodles to one side, crack the eggs into the wok and scramble them before mixing everything together.
  7. Serve immediately, peppered, with a few slices of cucumber.

Variations and tips

Prawn version. Add 200 g of peeled prawns at the start of cooking and let them turn pink before adding the noodles.

Using what you have. Fresh flat rice noodles are found in most Asian grocery shops; failing that, use dried wide rice noodles, soaked according to the packet.
