Directions

This is a favourite hangover dish - the chilis kick-start the benumbed body while the lime leaf refreshes and clears the jaded palate.

In a wok or frying pan/skillet, heat the oil until a light haze appears. Add the garlic and chilis and fry until the garlic is golden brown. Add the noodles, stir, add the remaining ingredients and stir well until the peppers begin to cook but are still al dente. Turn on to a dish.
