This is my take on New Year noodles, they are absolutely delicious and very easy to make.  In fact they are so tasty they are a regular quick meal for me!  There are many varieties of noodles to choose from, and really you can you use any you like here, but I prefer the thinner ones, which cook very quickly.

The Method

Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, drain and rinse with a little cold water. Set aside. Heat the wok over a high heat with a little sunflower oil and add the prawns, cooking very briefly for about one minute each side. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Put the wok back over a high heat, add a little sunflower oil and stir-fry the ginger and garlic for about 30 seconds. Add the carrots, Chinese cabbage, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and chilli oil.

Stir-fry until the carrots are tender but still have a bit of crunch. Add the noodles and prawns and toss to combine. Serve straight away with a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds, sliced spring onions and coriander leaves.
