Pak Choi Noodles

Make this under 30 minutes vegan adaptable pak choi recipe. The pak choi is fried with garlic and ginger, then poached in a soy based sauce. 

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

2 Pak Choi

tbsp Olive oil

2 Garlic cloves

Ginger (1)

½ tsp chilli flakes

2 tbsp Soy sauce

300 ml Water

1 tsp Cornflour

150 g Noodles

a bunch of Coriander

1 tsp Sesame seeds

2 Eggs (optional)

Recipe:

  1. Cook the pak choi: Cut the pak choi in half, or in quarters for the bigger ones. Chop the garlic and ginger. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, and stir fry the pak choi along with garlic, ginger and chilli flakes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly coloured. In the meantime, mix together the cornflour, water and soy sauce. Deglaze the pak choi with the soy sauce mixture, and simmer for 3 minutes. 
  2. Cook the noodles: Push the pak choi on the side and make enough space to add the noodles into the pan. If needed add a little bit more water. Simmer until the noodles are cooked. 
  3. Cook the eggs: Bring a saucepan (large enough to hold the eggs in a single layer) of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water one at a time. Cook for 6 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil. Meanwhile, fill a bowl with cold water and if you have some ice cubes. When the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to the water and chill until just slightly warm, about 2 minutes. Gently crack the eggs all over and peel. 
  4. Serve: Serve the noodles in a bowl, along with the pak choi and soy sauce juice. Place the egg on top, along with fresh coriander and sesame seeds.
