Notes
Cooking Noodles - You can use dry Chowmein/egg noodles or ramen noodles or thin egg noodle pasta for this recipe. Noodles can be cooked as per packet instructions - usually in a pot of rapidly boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Once cooked, drain the hot water and rinse in cold water several times until the noodles are cold, the starch has been washed off and each noodle strand is silky and separate. At this point in time, if you aren't going to cook the noodles straight away, store them in a bowl of cold tap water until ready to use. When ready to stir-fry, drain and use.Furikake - Furikake is a Japanese seasoning often added to rice and grills. It consists of toasted sesame seeds, nori, salt and sugar. If you can't find Furikake, add a teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds and a teaspoon of crushed nori (seaweed sheet).Shichimi Togarashi - A Japanese seasoning blend, Shichimi adds a depth of flavour to a finished dish. It usually consists of Japanese red pepper flakes, hemp seeds, white and black sesame seeds, nori (seaweed), ginger, poppy seeds and orange peel. Its fine if you can't find it, just sub with sesame seeds and nori instead.
