Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 nests medium egg noodles
- 140g broccoli, chopped into small florets
- 140g baby corn, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red pepper, sliced
- 300g prawns
Sauce
- 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- Cook Noodles and Vegetables: Bring a large pot of boiling water to a boil, then add the egg noodles, broccoli florets, and halved baby corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender and the vegetables are just cooked. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Sauté Pepper: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red pepper and fry for about 3 minutes, or until the pepper starts to soften but still retains some crunch.
- Toss Noodles and Prawns: Add the drained noodles, broccoli, and baby corn to the pan along with the prawns. Toss everything together to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Add Sauce and Heat Through: Mix in 3 tablespoons of tomato ketchup and 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce. Stir well and cook the whole mixture for 2-3 minutes, until the prawns are cooked through and everything is heated thoroughly and piping hot.
Notes
- If you have leftover roast chicken, shred it and use it along with the prawns for added protein and flavor.
- Ensure not to overcook the prawns as they can become rubbery.
- Use a wok or a large frying pan to ensure even cooking and easy tossing of ingredients.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of oyster sauce and ketchup to suit your taste preference.
