Fried Noodles Recipe

Ingredients :

300 g yellow noodles

350 g raw shrimps, peeled and deveined

1/4 cup white sesame seeds

2 tablespoons cooking oil

3 teaspoons sesame oil

4 onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped finely

2 teaspoons red chili, chopped finely

150 g firm tofu, diced

100 g button mushrooms, sliced thinly

1 red pepper, cut into thin strips

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sugar

Method:

Heat a dry pan on moderate heat and toast the sesame seeds for about 3-4 minutes, shaking the pan gently until golden. Remove immediately from the pan to prevent burning. Use a food mill to crush the toasted sesame seeds. Use a small bowl to combine the oils. Heat up a wok on moderate high heat and add in half the combined oil. Stir-fry the garlic, chili, onion and shrimps for 2-3 minutes, remove and set aside. Stir-fry the tofu until lightly golden, tossing occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the wok and add the red pepper and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 3 minutes or until just crisp. Add the soy sauce, sugar, water and noodles to the wok. Toss gently to separate and coate the noodles in the liquid. Cover with a lid and steam for about 5 minutes, tossing well. Add the shrimps and tofu. Toss for 3 minutes on moderate heat. Sprinkle with crushed sesame seeds and serve hot.
