Simple, Spicy Pan-fried Noodles
Description
The recipe begins by briefly boiling fresh Hong Kong style pan-fried noodles for about one minute to soften slightly, then draining well. The noodles are then divided into portions and pan-fried in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until golden and crisp on both sides. After frying, the noodles are tossed with soy sauce and sesame oil for saltiness and nuttiness, and finished with spicy black bean sauce or a chili oil of choice to add heat and depth. This creates a dish with contrast between crisp edges and tender noodle centers, brightened by the layers of seasoning.
This dish can be prepared in batches and served as a spicy accompaniment to stir-fries or protein dishes, or enjoyed alone as a flavorful snack or light meal. The use of fresh noodles is important for texture and taste.
Portions of blanched noodles can be refrigerated for up to two days and fried as needed, allowing for flexible timing and batch preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Hong Kong style pan-fried noodles 450g, fresh
- vegetable oil (for cooking)
- soy sauce
- sesame oil
- spicy black bean sauce or other chili oil/chili sauce of your choice, Lao Gan Ma brand
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in the noodles and boil for 1 minute. Drain thoroughly.
- Heat a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Take about a quarter of the noodles and spread them evenly in the pan.
- Let them cook until golden brown on both sides. Slide onto a serving plate and toss with about two teaspoons of soy sauce, a teaspoon of sesame oil, and some chili sauce.
- Repeat with remaining batches, or refrigerate the blanched noodles (covered) for up to 2 days and pan-fry noodles as needed!
