Egg Noodles

Recipe No:77
This dish makes use of egg noodles that are available in the market. Generally these come without taste makers. Here in this dish I am using only egg but it you want to use shredded Chicken, fried Prawns or Sausage go ahead. That will give a different but very delectable taste.

Ingredients                                      Serves 4

• Egg noodles (Long variety)….200 gm (2 oz)
• Garlic chopped…………………..1 Tablespoon
• Carrot……………………………….1 Small (Slice into thin long pieces)
• Beans……………………………....10 No (Slice into thin long pieces)
• Cabbage……………………………1 Cup (Shredded into thin long pieces)
• Onion……………………………….1/2 Small (Slice into thin long pieces)
• Spring Onion……………………..3 No (Slice into thin long pieces)
• Egg…………………………………..2
• Vegetable Oil………………….....3 Tablespoons
• Red Pepper Flakes……………..1/2 Teaspoon (or more if you want)
• Hoisin Sauce…………………..…2 Tablespoons
• Soy Sauce………………………….2 Tablespoons
• Sesame Oil………………………...1 Tablespoon (Optional)
• Salt and Pepper if needed.

Method of Preparation

1. Boil at least 6 cups of water in a pot over high heat with 1 Tablespoon of salt. Put the noodles into the boiling water and cook till it is done. Time of cooking will be on the back of the cover. Take care not to overcook. Drain and wash it immediately with cold water and keep it aside till ready to be used.
2. Heat Oil in a pan and saute Garlic and Red pepper flakes for 30 seconds followed by Carrot, Beans, Cabbage and Onion. Saute on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. It should be still crispy.
3. Move all the Vegetables to the sides of the pan and crack the eggs to the middle of the pan and immediately scramble. Once scrambled, mix the Egg with the Vegetables on the side of the pan.
4. Add the cooked Noodles, Soy sauce, Hoisin Sauce and Sesame Oil and mix well.
5. Check for Salt and Pepper and add if needed.  Finish off the dish with Spring Onions.

Notes:

• Egg Noodles is available in most of the grocery stores. But I like to use the ones from Chinese stores and other International Grocery stores, where you get dry egg noodles  just like Top Ramen Noodles...but without the taste maker. Look for long and thin Egg noodles that are bundled into blocks  and not the variety that comes in all sort of shapes and sizes.
• Hoisin Sauce is present in most of the Grocery stores in the Asian Isle. This sauce is a bit on the sweeter side and it is perfectly okay to use some extra sauce if you like it.
