Ingredients
Scale
Noodles & Vegetables
- 3 nests medium egg noodles
- 140g broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 140g baby corn, halved
- 1 red pepper, sliced
Protein
- 300g prawns
Sauce & Seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- Cook Noodles and Vegetables: Bring a pot of boiling water to a boil, then add the egg noodles, broccoli florets, and halved baby corn. Cook them together for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still retain some bite. Drain the mixture and set aside.
- Sauté Red Pepper: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced red pepper and fry for about 3 minutes until it starts to soften.
- Toss Ingredients Together: Add the cooked noodles, broccoli, and baby corn along with the prawns into the pan with the red pepper. Toss everything together gently to combine the flavors evenly.
- Add Sauce and Heat Through: Pour in 3 tablespoons of tomato ketchup and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce over the noodle mixture. Stir well to coat all ingredients and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the prawns are cooked through and the dish is piping hot.
Notes
- If you have leftover roast chicken, shred it and use it along with the prawns for added flavor and protein variety.
- For a spicier touch, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce ingredients.
- Ensure prawns are fresh or properly thawed before cooking to maintain texture and taste.
