Chinese Chilli Noodles Ingredients
350g fresh thick egg noodles
2 eggs
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground turmeric
115g green beans, blanched
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large onion sliced finely
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 fresh red chillies, seeded and finely sliced
2 large cooked potatoes cut into small cubes
6 pcs fried beancurd (tufu), sliced
4 cups beansprouts
salt

spring onions to garnish, sliced
Chinese Chilli Noodles Cooking Procedure
1. Lightly beat the eggs. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. Heat a lightly greased omelette pan then pour in half of the beaten egg. Tilt the pan quickly to cover the base thinly. When egg is set, turn the omelette over using chopsticks or spatula. Fry the other side.
2. Slide the omelette on to a plate then blot with kitchen paper. Roll up and cut into narrow strips. Make a second omelette in the same way then slice. Set the omelette strips aside for garnish.
3. Mix together the chilli powder and turmeric in a cup. Form a paste from it by stirring in a little water.
4. In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil then fry the onion until soft. Lower heat and stir in the chilli paste, chillies and soy sauce. Fry for 2 minutes.
5. Add the potatoes and fry for about 2 minutes. Mix well with the chillies then add the beancurd, then the beansprouts followed by the green beans and noodles.
6. Stir-fry gently until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through. Be careful not to break the potatoes or the beancurd. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with the reserved omelette strips and slices of spring onions.
