Ingredients
- 12 king prawns or shrimp
- 100 gram dry rice noodle
- 1 handful bean sprouts
- 1 small green onion (chopped)
- 4 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons preserved turnips
- 1/3 cup peanuts
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon fresh red chili
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons peanuts (crushed)
- fish sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Pre-soak the noodles for at least 30 minutes in room temperature water until they are soft yet firm.
- Heat and season the wok. Add the shrimp and grill for 90 seconds. Add the eggs. When the eggs are not quite finished, add the noodles, sugar, peanuts, turnip, and paprika. Stir fry for approximately 45 seconds or until all ingredients are mixed together and the noodles are wilted.
- Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce, and vinegar. Follow with the bean sprouts, green onions, and red chili. Stir fry quickly to ensure everything is mixed together. If you prefer a wet noodle dish, deglaze with 4-5 tablespoons of water or stock. For firmer, drier noodles, deglaze with only 1 or 2 tablespoons of water or stock.
- Place on a serving plate and garnish with crushed peanuts, more bean sprouts and a wedge of lemon.
