Stir fried noodles a l'Agerienne!

Why a l’Algerienne?

Well today I feel like cooking stir fried noodles and the only  "Chinese" ingredients I have at home are: noodles and Soy sauce.

The rest are ingredients I usually use for an Algerian dish!

The result? The dish looks Chinese. It tastes “Algero-Chinois” and it is delicious!


Recipe:

Ingredients (to feed 4-5 people) (For my family I used double!!!!)

500g egg noodles

350 g kings prawns marinated in soy sauce, garlic, black pepper and fresh coriander for around ½ hour

1 big onion sliced

1 carrot sliced finely

1 red pepper sliced

1 green pepper sliced

1 yellow pepper sliced

1 tomato skinned and diced

2 cloves of garlic sliced

1tsp cumin

1tsp coriander

1 medium bunch of fresh coriander

100ml(approx) Dark soy sauce (I usually use light Soy sauce. Bought this one by mistake!!!)

½ cup of mixed olive oil and vegetable oil! (do not have sesame oil!!).

Method

Heat the oil in a big wok.

Fry the prawns until the colour changes to pink. Drain and put aside.

In the same oil, fry the onion for few minutes then add other vegetables starting by the carrots then the peppers the tomato then the garlic

Add all the spices then the soy sauce. Season.

In a large pan, boil the noodles for 4-5 mins, drain and then add to the mixture an toss. Add the prawns and fresh coriander for a beautiful and colourful dish.
