Crispy Noodle Nest

Ingredients

• 250g thin noodles
• 150g tofu, cubed
• 1 cup cabbage, shredded
• 2 carrots, diced small
• 1 capsicum, diced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 4 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp cornflour in 1/2 cup water
• Oil for frying
• 1/2 lemon
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

1. Boil half the noodles for 2 minutes only, drain, and spread them out to dry. Wet noodles spit in hot oil.
2. Deep fry the other half in loose handfuls until they hold together and go golden. Drain on paper and pile into a nest on the serving plate.
3. Stir-fry ginger-garlic, then all the vegetables and tofu, 4-5 minutes on high.
4. Ketchup, soy, chilli sauce, then the boiled noodles. Toss until everything is coated.
5. Cornflour water in, one minute until it thickens. Spoon over the crisp nest just before eating — do it earlier and the nest goes soft.
6. Sesame oil and a squeeze of lemon over the top.
