Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g egg noodles
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tbsp, grated ginger
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 medium, thinly sliced (any color) bell pepper
- 100 g snap peas
- 200 g cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp (optional)
- 1.5 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp oyster sauce
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 stalks, chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp, for garnish sesame seeds
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Sauté the sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, and snap peas, and stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
If using protein (such as chicken, tofu, or shrimp), add it to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it combines well with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables and protein, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, coconut milk, and chicken or vegetable stock. Pour the mixture into the wok, stirring to combine.
In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water to create a slurry. Pour this into the wok to thicken the sauce, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss everything together to coat the noodles in the sauce and distribute the vegetables and protein evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more soy sauce for saltiness or curry powder for spice).
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Chinese Curry Noodles!
