2 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
125gramsEgg noodles
2tablespoonsDark sesame oil
12.5cm piece of Root ginger finely grated
1Garlic clove; crushed
2tablespoonsSoy sauce
3Spring onions finely sliced
25gramsPine nuts browned under the grill
Fresh coriander leaves to garnish

Directions

The crunch of browned pine nuts gives this simple mixture of egg noodles, garlic and ginger a mouth-watering texture. The dish is made in a matter of moments, and a finishing touch of fresh coriander makes all the difference, adding its distinctively oriental flavour.

Cook the egg noodles in boiling, salted water until soft - about 4-5 minutes. Heat the oil in a wok and soften the ginger and garlic gently in it for 3-4 minutes, then toss in the noodles until well coated. Stir in the soy sauce and spring onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Finally stir in the pine nuts and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh coriander leaves.
