(Indian Fried Yellow Noodles Recipe)

500 g (1 lb) Hokkien mee (fresh yellow noodles)

2-3 tablespoons oil

2 large onions, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon chili paste or chili powder

1 teaspoon curry powder

2 potatoes, boiled, skinned and sliced thickly

1 bunch chye sim (Chinese flowering cabbage), cut into small pieces

2 tomatoes, quartered

2 pieces taukwa (firm soya bean cakes), deepfried and cut into 8 pieces each

300 g (approximately 9 oz) bean sprouts

a pinch of salt

1 teaspoon dark soy sauce or to taste

1 tablespoon bottled tomato sauce

Garnish:

Red and green chilies, sliced and fried shallots

Method:

Heat oil in a wok.  When hot, sauté onions until soft.  Add chili paste and curry powder.  Keep stirring over a low fire to ensure no sticking.  Sprinkle a little water to prevent burning.  Turn up fire to medium.  Add vegetables - potato first, followed by the greens, tomato, taukwa and bean sprouts.  Season with a pinch of salt.  Loosen noodles and add to the wok.  Add soy sauce and tomato sauce.  Mix thoroughly.  Sprinkle a little water, if needed, for easier mixing.  Garnish with fresh chilies and fried shallots.  Serve immediately.
