Ingredients

  • 150 g fresh egg noodles
  • Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 6 green tiger prawns, peeled and cleaned with tails in-tact
  • ½ onion, cut into wedges
  • ½ carrot, julienned
  • 6 small broccoli florets, blanched
  • ¼ red capsicum, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup fresh corn kernels
  • 4 oyster mushrooms, torn
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • Dash fish sauce
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) chicken stock
  • ½ cup chopped Chinese celery 
  • 2 tsp potato starch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • Coriander sprigs and chopped chilli, to serve

Instructions

Flatten the egg noodles onto a dinner plate to form a circular shape. 

Heat 1 cm oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, slide the circle of noodles into the pan and cook for 10-20 seconds until nice and crisp, making sure you move it around so it cooks evenly. Drain on paper towel, then transfer to a round serving plate. 

Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the pan and return to medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant, then add the prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove the prawns and set aside, then add the onion, carrot, broccoli, capsicum, corn and mushrooms and stir- fry for 1 minute. Add the sauces and stock and toss to combine. Add 1 tablespoon of the potato starch and water mixture, then return the prawns to the pan with the Chinese celery and stir-fry for another minute. 

Transfer the prawns and vegetables over the crisp egg noodles, scatter with the coriander and chilli and serve immediately.
