Instructions

  4. Cook the noodles: Throw in the noodles, spread them out, cook for 30 secs, then flip and cook other side for 30 secs.
  5. Add char siu: Push the noodles to one side of the wok, and add char siu and a dash of oil to the freed up area. Stir-fry without mixing into the noodles for 20 secs.
  6. Add vegetables: Add the onion, carrots, celery, and king oyster mushrooms, stir-fry for 40 secs.
  7. Cover vegetables with noodles: When the vegetables are fragrant, move the noodles on top to cover them. Cook like this for another 40 secs.
  8. Pour the sauce and mix: Now pour the sauce over the noodles, then mix and stir-fry everything together for 60 secs.
  9. Final touch: Finally, add beansprouts and sesame oil. Cook for another 2 mins on medium heat and it’s ready to eat.
