Stir Fry Vegetables With Hokkien Noodles
Stir fry vegetables with noodles is a common dish that I usually prepare in the Knight kitchen. I can cook a variety of stir fry vegetables using different types of noodles. The above photo was my recent noodle dish prepared using hokkien noodles but the basic ingredients are the same. The base recipe that I found to be close to what I usually make is in here. Anyway, here is my own version of the vegetable stir fry with hokkien noodles.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 big onion sliced
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 medium size carrot cut into strips
1 medium size red capsicum
100 g beansprouts (optional)
200 g snow peas
1/2 bunch of spring onions (cut in about 1cm length)
250 g of broccoli cut into florets
1/4 cup of soy sauce
2 tbsp of oyster sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce (or alternately I use the Kecap Manis in place of the soy sauce, oyster sauce and chilli sauce)
440 g of thin Hokkien noodles
a pinch of pepper
200 g of chicken fillet or pork boiled in 1/2 cup water until tender (use this chicken or pork stock in cooking)
Procedure:
1. Put a 200 g pork or chicken in a sauce pan, put 1/2 cup of water and bring it to boil until the meat is tender.
2. Set aside the meat stock and slice the chicken or pork in small pieces.
3. Place the sauce pan or a wok (whichever is available) over high heat then add the vegetable oil.
4. Add the minced garlic and onions and stir fry them for 2 minutes or until you can smell the sauteed garlic and onions.
5. Add the meat, the stock, carrots, bean sprouts and snow peas and saute them for 2 minutes, then add the capsicum in the last minute or until the carrot is tender but please do not overcook them.
6. Blanch the broccoli and the noodles in boiling water for about two minutes. Drain and add them in the sauce pan with vegetables.
7. Toss well until all the ingredients are well combined.8. Add the spring onions and a pinch of pepper.
