Ingredients
Scale
Noodles and Vegetables
- 3 nests medium egg noodles
- 140g broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 140g baby corn, halved
- 1 red pepper, sliced
Protein
- 300g prawns
Sauce and Oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- Cook noodles and vegetables: Bring a large pot of boiling water to a rapid boil and cook the egg noodles, chopped broccoli florets, and halved baby corn for 3-4 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Sauté red pepper: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red pepper and fry for about 3 minutes, until it starts to soften but retains some crunch.
- Toss ingredients together: Add the cooked noodles, broccoli, and baby corn back into the pan with the sautéed red pepper. Add the raw prawns, tossing everything together to combine evenly.
- Add sauces and heat through: Pour in 3 tablespoons of tomato ketchup and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce over the contents of the pan. Continue to stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the prawns turn pink and the whole dish is heated through and piping hot.
Notes
- If you have leftover roast chicken, shredding it and mixing it in with the prawns is a great way to add extra protein and flavor.
- Ensure not to overcook the vegetables to maintain a pleasant crunch and vibrant color.
- This dish can be customized by adding other vegetables such as snap peas or mushrooms depending on preference.
