Description
It’s all the flavours of your favourite fried spring roll but by the spoonful. This dish makes a great light dinner or healthy lunch that reheats well.
Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 40 g bean thread noodles (one brick)
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 carrot (julienned)
  • 100 g bamboo shoots (julienned (about half a 225g tin))
  • 2 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • 2 cups wombok (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tsp white pepper (or to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp MSG (to taste (optional))
  • To serve (each bowl)
  • 1 tsp sliced spring onion
  • 1 tbsp crunchy noodles
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place a small pot of water onto boil. Once boiling lower your eggs in with a spoon then set a timer for 7 minutes. Once cooked, remove and place under cold or ice water to cool completely.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, place bean thread noodles in a small heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 5 or so minutes then drain and cut with clean scissors or chop into bite-size lengths.
  3. 3
    Place a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil and carrot and toss to cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and bamboo shoots then cook for a further minute. Add the Shaoxing, wombok, white pepper and season to taste with salt and MSG if you are using it.
  4. 4
    Toss and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is wilted. Finally, add the glass noodles and toss to cook a further minute or so until the noodles become translucent.
  5. 5
    Portion the noodles into bowls, then garnish with sliced spring onion and a boiled egg cut in half.
