Ingredients




200 grams (about 7 ounces) dry egg noodles
3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
Some freshly cut red chilies
A good handful of Basil
300 grams (about 3/4 pound) of thinly sliced beef
2 1/2 tablespoons dark soya sauce
1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
About 100ml (a scant 1/2 cup) water (to use with corn flour)
Some olive oil
2 teaspoons of corn flour

Preparation

1 Cook the dry egg noodles according to the packet. About 2-3 minutes as they will be used later for stir-frying. Drain and set aside. 2 Make sure the wok/pan is hot. Drizzle some olive oil. 3 Put in the chopped garlic. Cook until fragrant. Then, put in the cut chilies. 4 After that, put in the sliced beef. Stir. 5 While the beef is cooking away. Mix Oyster sauce, Fish sauce, dark soya sauce and black pepper in the water. 6 Once the beef is almost cook, pour in the sauce mixture and give it a good stir. 7 Adjust your seasoning if needed. 8 To thicken the sauce a bit, mix the corn flour in water (about 1 tbsp). Pour in the sauce and stir. You will notice the sauce becomes less watery. 9 Put in the cooked egg noodles and mix well. 10 Served warm.

About


I love all kind of noodles, be them in the soup or just in stir-fry. Stir-fry is always the quick way to satisfy hunger. The ingredients could be anything you fancy. I do like to have prawns in my noodles. For a change, I made beef with basil in black pepper sauce to go with egg noodles. If you don’t eat beef, chicken or pork could be the substitute. And if you want to make it a bit spicy, just add some freshly cut chilies in your stir-fry. Without wasting more time as I’m getting hungry by just looking at the picture, here’s the recipe:
