I warned you that I was back with a vengeance. HA! See I am here again. Ok yesterday I made stir-fried yellow noodles for the family. (Yeah, I had an ambulance on stand-by, but thankfully we didnt have to use it :P) I didnt follow any recipe though so measurements will be by taste. Here's the recipe. Picture will be up soon!

Rathi's Noodles
Yellow Noodles- 250gm
Prawns- 10 cleaned and de-veined, keep prawn heads aside for stock
Fishballs- 5 cut into halves
Chye Sim- as much as u want! approx 8-10 stalks washed and chopped into 4cm lengths
Ginger- 2.5cm thinly sliced
Garlic-4 cloves, chopped
Red Chillies- 2 sliced
Soy sauce, salt, pepper according to taste
a few leaves of coriander and spring onion chopped
oil
water


Heat some oil in a wok, add 1/3 of the chopped ginger and garlic and fry till fragrant. Throw in the prawn heads and fry till cooked. Add 2 cups of water and allow to boil. add a pinch of salt and add in the coriander and spring onion, let boil for 1 min and pour the stock into another bowl and keep aside.
Using the same wok, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is heated, add the ginger garlic and 1/2 the chopped chillies and fry. Add in the prawns and fishballsand stir fry for 3 minutes or till all the prawns turn pink. Add noodles, followed by salt, soy sauce and pepper. Stir fry for 3 mins, add the chye sim and continue stir frying for 3 minutes till the vegetables and noodles are cooked. Taste and add more salt/pepper if necessary. Pour the stock in, toss the noodles around and you are done. Serve with a bit of cut red chillies on the side. Noodles should be served immediately or it will get too soggy, so cook it about 20 minuted before you want to eat.
