Stir-fried spicy sweet chilli noodles with peppers and onions, a delicious and easy side dish that will go from your cupboard to your table in around 15 minutes.
Cook the egg noodles as per the instructions on the packet, less 30-60 seconds, then refresh them in cold water. You want them just to break up and be al dente as they will finish cooking in the wok.
Peel, top and tail the onion, and cut it in half lengthways. Then cut it into 5mm (¼") thick slices lengthways.
De-seed the peppers and cut them into 5mm (¼") thick ribbons.
De-seed the chilli pepper and cut it into strips as thinly as you can.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them as finely as you can.
Slice the spring onions at a 45-degree angle to the stem into rounds about 2-3mm (⅛") thick.
Mix together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, chinkiang vinegar and sesame oil in a bowl.
Heat a wok over a fiercely high heat. Add the cooking oil, and when it is hot, add the red onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Throw in the peppers and chilli pepper and stir fry for 90 seconds.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the cooled and drained noodles, stir fry for 60 seconds and pour in the sauce, then toss everything together.
