Taste: 5 (out of 5)

Difficulty: 1 (out of 5)



Ingredients:

- 2 cups of Asian noodles of your choice

- 2 tbsp canola oil

- 1 cup shredded cabbage

- 1 cup stir fry vegetable mix

- 1/2 cup corn kernels

- 2 tbsp sweet white wine

- 2 tbsp green onions or chives

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tbsp shrimp paste

Total: 3 servings (as main dish)


Directions:

1. In a medium sized pot bring 3 cups of water to boil, cook the noodles in boiling water for 1/2 - 1 minute, drain and set aside.

2. In a small bowl mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside

3. Preheat a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add canola oil, let it warm up and add the eggs. Stir the eggs for 20-30 seconds until scrambled.

4. Add the noodles, vegetables, cabbage and corn and continue stirring for 3-5 minutes, until cooked.

5. Add the sauce and stir well until all the vegetables are coated.

6. Add the wine and the shallot, stir and serve.



Afterthoughts:

- This is a really simple and quick recipe, that takes 15-20 minutes from start to finish, and tastes delish.

- You can also add chicken or shrimp. The version here is almost vegetarian, as long as you don't mind the oyster sauce and the shrimp paste.
