- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- kerupuk (crackers) for serving
- salt to taste
Steps
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat for about 1 minute until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and sliced shallots, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked chicken and stir-fry for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Add the pre-cooked egg noodles, kecap manis, sambal, and salt, tossing well for about 3-4 minutes until everything is combined and heated through.
Finally, mix in the chopped spring onions, and stir-fry for another minute. Serve immediately topped with kerupuk.
Why this works
The combination of pre-cooked egg noodles and quick stir-frying technique allows for a speedy preparation without sacrificing flavor. Kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce, provides a rich depth, while sambal adds heat. Stir-frying at a high temperature creates 'wok hei', the desirable smoky flavor characteristic of many Asian stir-fries. If the noodles seem too clumpy, adding a splash of water or more kecap manis can help loosen them. Remember, overcooking the garlic can lead to bitterness; hence, quick frying is essential. This dish's balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors makes it a perfect weeknight meal that can be adjusted based on available pantry staples.
