Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh egg noodles
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Begin by separating the fresh egg noodles to ensure they are not clumped together.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes until they are just cooked but still firm. Drain thoroughly.
Spread the blanched noodles on a clean kitchen towel or a baking sheet lined with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Pat the noodles gently with additional paper towels if needed.
Sprinkle cornstarch over the noodles and gently toss to evenly coat. This helps create extra crispiness during frying.
In a large pan or wok, heat 500 ml of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You can test the oil's readiness by placing a small piece of noodle in the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Carefully add a portion of the noodles to the hot oil, using tongs or a slotted spoon to lower them gently to avoid splattering. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes or until the noodles turn golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally with tongs or a slotted spoon to ensure even frying.
Remove the crispy noodles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper immediately after frying each batch.
Allow to cool completely. Serve the crispy noodles as a base for stir-fried vegetables and meats, as a topping for salads, or enjoy them as a crunchy snack.
