My adorable Uncle Jimmy makes the best egg noodles. He is committed to
quality and freshness, and always uses fresh eggs as opposed to yellow food
colouring. The combination of ingredients in the following recipe is simple,
yet traditional - the smoky flavour imparted by the vigorous stir-frying is
delicious.
Serves: as part of a banquet for 4
Serve with: Braised dried Chinese mushrooms and Sichuan pepper and salt

Trim ends from Choy sum, then cut crossways into thirds, wash thoroughly and
drain.
Blanch noodles in boiling salted water until 'al dente' - about 2 minutes -
and drain immediately. Refresh in cold water, then drain again thoroughly.
Heat oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly. Add
ginger, garlic, red onion and sea salt, and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until
fragrant.
Add mushrooms and spring onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add noodles, Choy
sum, chilli and sesame oil and stir-fry for a further minute, or until
noodles are heated through. Finally, add bean sprouts and soy sauce and
stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Arrange noodles in a bowl, sprinkle with Sichuan pepper and salt and serve
immediately.
