Ingredients

• 300 g fresh lo mein or egg noodles
• 2 tbsp neutral oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, minced
• 1 Carrot, cut into matchsticks
• 150 g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• 100 g Mangetout (snow peas)
• 3 heads of baby bok choy, sliced, stems and leaves apart
• 100 g Bean sprouts
• 4 Spring onion, cut into 4 cm lengths
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Vegetarian stir-fry sauce (mushroom "oyster" sauce)
• 1 tsp Sugar
• ¼ tsp White pepper
• 3 tbsp Water
• 1 tsp Cornflour (cornstarch)
• 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil

Method

1. Cook the noodles for 1 minute less than the packet says, rinse under cold water, drain well and toss with a few drops of oil. Mix the sauce ingredients.
2. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry the carrot and mushrooms for 2 min, then add the pepper, snow peas and bok choy stems for 1–2 min more.
3. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
4. Add the noodles and the sauce and toss with tongs for about 2 min, until every strand is coated and evenly brown.
5. Add the bean sprouts, bok choy leaves and spring onion and toss for 1 minute more, until just wilted. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve.

Tips

• Contains egg (in the noodles). Add strips of fried tofu or chicken if you want more protein.
