Stir-fried Greens with Oyster Sauce

Ingredients

  • 100g vermicelli rice noodle
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 4 chopped spring onions
  • 3 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 deseeded and chopped red chilli
  • 100g thinly sliced shiitake or chestnut mushrooms
  • 200g broccoli florets
  • 2 roughly chopped heads of pak choi

Method

  1. Place the rice vermicelli in boiling water and allow it to soak for 4 minutes. Drain the noodles, rinse them with cold water, drain once more and set them aside.
  2. Combine the soy sauce, fish sauce and oyster sauce together in a small bowl. Warm the sunflower oil in a large wok, then introduce the spring onions, chopped garlic and the deseeded, chopped red chilli.
  3. Stir fry the aromatics for 20 seconds, then put in the thinly sliced mushrooms and broccoli florets. After stir frying for 1 minute, add the pak choi and the prepared sauce. Stir everything and cook for about 2 minutes, pouring in a little water should the sauce get too thick.
  4. Add the prepared noodles to the wok, take it off the heat and toss thoroughly to combine. Serve immediately in warmed bowls, ready to enjoy with chopsticks.
