Step Three: Cooking
Ingredients
½ cup oil
½ bulb garlic, chopped
2 eggs, slightly beaten
4 green onions, chopped into 1 inch pieces
¾ pound of bean sprouts
couple of handfuls of fresh coriander, chopped
Heat the wok, add the oil and swirl over the surface. Add the garlic and stir fry until light golden. Add the noodles and toss lightly to coat with oil and the garlic. Add the sauce, gently folding frequently until the noodles have absorbed the liquid. Lift the noodles to one side and add the eggs. Toss the noodles until the eggs are cooked and distributed throughout. Add the bean sprouts, green onions and toss until the bean sprouts become limp. Shut the wok off, put the coriander on the noodles and toss several times. Put the noodles onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
