Stir Fried Ho Fun Noodles Recipe
You can't beat a good stir-fry for a quick and satisfying meal. Ho fun noodles (aka ho fan and chow fun) are wide rice noodles from Hong Kong and Southern China. My version of this simple dish is vegan/vegetarian so long as you buy some veggie/vegan oyster sauce.

Ingredients
- 200 g Wide Rice Noodles 7oz
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- ½ tablespoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 2½ tablespoon Vegan/Vegetarian Oyster Sauce
- ½ teaspoon Toasted Sesame Oil
- ¼ teaspoon Sugar
- Pinch MSG
For the Vegetables:
- 1 Small Onion 75-100g
- 200 g Shiitake Mushrooms 7oz
- 2 Medium Pak Choi
- 100 g Sugar Snap Peas 1 Cup
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 3 Spring Onions
- 100 g Bean Sprouts 1 Cup
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the noodles in boiling water, your packet should give you a "steer", but generally speaking they take 2-3 minutes. They should be a little firm in the centre, they will continue to cook in the sauce later. Once they have been boiled drain them then transfer them to a plate or baking dish, spread them out in a single layer and allow them to cool.
- Add the ingredients for the sauce to a small mixing bowl and stir them until the MSG and sugar have dissolved.
- Top and tail the onion, cut it in half, peel it and then cut it into 5mm (¼") thick slices, cutting top to bottom and not across the onion.
- Trim the stems from the shiitake mushrooms, do not discard them, freeze them they are great in a stock, then cut the caps into 5mm (¼") thick strips.
- Cut the pak choi in half lengthways, then cut the tougher stalks into 5mm (¼") thick slices and the leafy green part into 1cm (½") thick strips. Keep the green parts and the stalk of the pak choi separate.
- Cut the sugar snap peas into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel the garlic cloves and slice them as thinly as you can.
- Finely slice the spring onions at a 45° angle to the stalk.
- Heat a wok over a fiercely high heat and when the wok is shimmering add the oil and the onions, then stir fry for 1 minute.
- Add the garlic and shiitake mushrooms, then stir fry for another minute.
- Add the stalks from the pak choi and stir fry, again for 1 minute.
- Throw in the noodles, green parts of the pak choi, sugar snap peas and the bean sprouts, pour over the sauce and stir-fry until the noodles are hot, this will take a minute or two. The noodles will be sticky when you add them, but they will loosen up when you stir-fry them.
- Finally, sprinkle over the spring onions before serving.
