Finally got OH's 'standard' stir fry recipe off him. The vegetables change but the thicker, saltier sauce is roughly the same each time.
Serves 4
4 layers medium egg noodles, or rice noodles
1 large clove of garlic, grated
1 tsp grated ginger
200g shredded kale
2 medium carrots, grated
400g firm tofu, diced
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Sauce:
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2-1 tsp hot chilli flakes
125ml chicken stock or water (I used the noodle water)
Cook the noodles according to the packet's instructions. Rinse with cold water to stop them cooking, then drain. Rinsing with cold water also stops them sticking together, but you can also toss them in a little sesame oil if you have no faith.
Whilst all the noodles are cooking, fry the garlic and ginger in a frying pan. This can be done in a wok or a large frying pan.
Add the diced tofu and fry for a few minutes, then add the kale and carrot and stir fry for another few minutes. Splash about half the water in and cover if at all possible to soften the veg to a child friendly texture. Add the cooked noodles and sauce and mix thoroughly. I often cut the noodles with scissors whilst sitting in the colander before adding to make it easier to mix, as well as for the kids to eat with a fork or spoon. Cover with a lid again if possible until the sauce and noodles are piping hot. Serve immediately.
