Ingredients
For the Stir Fry
- 1 (1 lb) package rice noodles fresh or dry, wide flat
- 4 Tbsp peanut oil divided (or any high smoke-point oil
- 1 tsp shrimp paste omit if unavailable, also known as belachan
- 3 pieces Chinese sausage sliced thinly on the diagonal, aka lap cheong
- 8 pieces fish tofu sliced
- 10 large prawns or shrimp
- 3 egg beaten
- 1 (1 lb) package bean sprouts washed
- 1 bunch green chives cut into 2" pieces
For the Sauce
- 3 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce light
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
Instructions
- If not using fresh rice noodles, soak the dried rice noodles in a pot of warm water for about 20-30 minutes. Then drain. Set aside.
- Prepare all of your stir fry ingredients before starting.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a very hot wok, add 1 Tbsp of oil.
- Remember to work in portions. Add in half the belachan (if using) and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add in half of the lap cheong and stir for another minute before adding in half of the fish tofu and half of the prawns/shrimp.
- Add a large handful of rice noodles and toss everything together.
- Push the noodles aside and add 1 Tbsp of oil. Pour in half of the beaten egg and let it set for about 30 seconds before scrambling it, incorporating the noodles with the egg.
- Pour in half of the sauce mixture and stir quickly.
- Finally, add in 2 large handfuls of bean sprouts and half of the chives. Toss to incorporate. Remove the prepared dish from the wok and repeat the steps with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve hot, with chili sauce, if you wish.
Notes
- *If you cannot find lap cheong, you can substitute with char siu BBQ pork instead or any protein that you like.
- **If you cannot find fish tofu, you can substitute any medium firm tofu, or omit it from the recipe.
