Fried Noodles

From top left: Bean sprouts, fried tofu, fresh tomatoes (cut into eight) , sliced beef, pepper, oyster sauce, tomato ketchup, sweet soy sauce, fresh noodles, mustard leaves and sliced shallots.

Heat wok and add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Saute shallots till golden and add chili paste if you want the noodles to be hot. Saute till fragrant.

Add beef and continue sauteing.

Add all the vegetables except beansprouts ( beansprouts are added last after cooking is nearly done). Stir and season with oyster sauce, pepper, soy sauce, tomato ketchup. Taste and add salt if needed. Stir fry till vegetables are slightly wilted and add the noodles. If too dry add a little stock or water. Then add the noodles and continue stirring. Finally just before you take it off the heat add the beansprouts and fried sliced tofu.

Viola! Ready to be eaten in less than 30 minutes! You can add or exchange the vegetables to something else like cabbage and such, but remember to cut so that able to cook quickly.
