Irresistibly crispy noodles that are absolutely delicious!
Ingredients:
  • 7.50 gm cornflour
  • 100.00 ml Homemade Chinese Stir-fry Sauce (see notes)
  • 400g fresh chow mein noodles
  • 75.08 gm peanut oil
  • 24 medium green prawns, peeled, deveined
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 small brown onion, halved, sliced
  • 1 carrot, cut into 5cm lengths, thinly sliced lengthways
  • 410g can baby corn spears, drained, halved
  • 1/2 bunch pak choy, quartered lengthways (see note)
  • Sliced green onion, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine cornflour with 2 teaspoons of water until velvety. Add in 2 cups of water and stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 120C/100C fan-forced. Place a wire rack over a baking tray. Divide noodles into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a 25cm round on separate plates using your fingers.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Slide 1 portion of noodles in and cook for 2 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip with a large spatula and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining noodles, adding more oil as needed.
  • In a sizzling wok, swirl the leftover oil and toss in the prawns. Stir them for 1 to 2 minutes until perfectly cooked. Place them in a bowl.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in the wok. Add garlic and onion, cook until browned. Toss in carrot, corn, and pak choy and stir-fry. Pour in the sauce, stir until it thickens. Return prawns to the wok and stir until heated through.
  • Arrange the noodle cakes on serving plates and generously top with the flavorful stir-fry. Garnish with fresh green onions before serving.
