So amongst the things I bought, I have a package of rice noodles, some frozen prawns, bean sprouts, carrot etc. A very much fried rice noodles ingredients I then realise! Naturally, I can't wait to make myself some fried rice noodles with prawns as Saturday's lunch. (Fried noodles also commonly served as breakfast in Malaysia too..)
For this version of fried rice noodle, the ratio for the vegetables is higher than the rice noodles itself! So it is a healthy lunch.
Ingredients: 3-4 servings
- 1/2 a package of dried rice noodles (socked in cold water until soft and drained)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 package of bean sprouts
- 2 sticks of carrots (shredded)
- A bunch of coriander (roughly chopped)
- 1 package of fresh of frozen prawns
- 1 shallots (sliced)
- Few cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
- 1 -2 tablespoonful fresh chilli paste
- Spring onion (chopped) (optional)
- Pickled chillies (for serving)
- Approximate 4-6 tbsp (or more)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A teaspoonful of dark soy sauce
Firstly, in a hot wok add some oil and a pinch of salt. When the oil is hot, pour the beaten eggs and let it cook until lightly brown. Remove the egg from the heat and set aside to let cool. Once cooled, slice the egg into strips (for serving). In the same wok under high heat, add more oil and stir in the shallot, garlic and chilli paste. Fry until fragrant. Add the prawns and stir fry until the prawns are just cooked.
Then add the rice noodles, shredded carrot and bean sprouts and stir until all ingredients are roughly distributed. Add the dark soy sauce, salt and pepper and fry until the bean sprouts are just slightly cooked. Add the coriander (leave some for garnishing) then stir to distribute the green roughly into the rice noodles. Done! On a serving plate, arrange the fried rice noodle in the middle and garnish it with pickled chillies, fresh coriander leaves and sliced fried egg. Serves it hot (and spicy!).
ps: wow....can you see a little stickman in the central of the photo (on top of the prawn)?!!
