MUSHROOM BOK CHOY NOODLES

I like this dish for its combination of flavours and textures. King oyster mushrooms are shredded and stir fried on a high heat to bring out their robust flavour, then set aside. The wok is reheated and fresh vegetables are added to the hot pan. The vegetables take only a couple of minutes you want to keep them crisp and crunchy remove, now add the ginger and garlic fry until just starting to change in colour. Add all the cooked ingredients back to the pan and add the cooked noodles give everything a toss to combine. Pour in sauce and toss again so the noodles can soak up all the flavours next add the beans sprouts and stir through. Your meal is ready sit down and enjoy.
