I can never resist not picking up a bundle or two of the beautiful flowering chives whenever they are around. This beauty goes very well with almost everything but it is especially delicious when paired with seafood. I did just that by using prawns and flowering chives in a tasty noodle stir fry, with my favourite hor fun (fresh rice noodle) of course! Chicken will work equally well here and if you prefer beef, how about some fried rice noodles with beef (乾炒牛河) instead?
you'll need;
250 to 300 g of fresh wide rice noodles, loosen and mixed in a tbs of light soy
2 garlic cloves, chopped
8 prawns, peeled and deveined
a small bunch of flowering chives or garlic chives, cut into 4 cm lengths
a handful of bean sprouts, topped and tailed
1 tbs of light soy
2 tbs of oyster sauce
dash of fish sauce
dash of sesame oil
dash of white pepper
cut chillies in soy to serve
Peel the prawns, leaving the tails intact then devein and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables. Bean sprouts are topped and tailed to give the dish a better appearance.
Char rice noodles in a very hot wok with a little oil, do not attempt to move the noodles too much to avoid breakage. When noodles are nicely charred, remove and set set aside. This is a great step for every home cook who wants to achieve the smokey flavour so important in a good stir fry.
Return the noodles to the wok, add seasonings and mix well.
Finally stir in the bean sprouts and cook for another 20 to 30 seconds. Check for seasonings before serving.
I know it is late but I would happily finish that right now :)
