Noodles with stir fried vegetables in black pepper sauce

Serves 2

Ingredients:

Enough cooked noodles for two people

1 large onion thinly sliced

2 cloves of fresh garlic minced

1 thumb size of ginger cut into matchsticks strips

1 large red pepper thinly sliced

1 large green or yellow pepper thinly sliced

1 stick of celery chopped on the diagonal into pieces

1 small carrot thinly sliced

A handful of frozen prawns (optional)

2 Tablespoons of oyster sauce

1 Tablespoon of soy sauce

1 teaspoon of ground black pepper

1 teaspoon of fish sauce instead of salt

1 teaspoon of MSG (optional)

1 teaspoon of mango chutney instead of 1 tsp of sugar

A few dashes of sesame oil

2 teaspoons of cornflour dissolved in a glass of water to thicken up the sauce

2 Tablespoons of oil

Method:

Heat the oil until smoking

Add the garlic and ginger and fry for a minute

Add the veg and stir fry until cooked but still crunchy

Add the black pepper and cook for 1 minute

Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for a couple of minutes

Add the prawns if using and cook for a further two minutes

Stir in the cornflour to thicken the sauce

Add the cooked noodles and continue to cook until everything is well mixed together and completely cooked through. When I made this I reheated the noodles in the microwave and put them into bowls and then poured the veg and black pepper sauce over them.
