Let's Prepare

Collect

Gather these ingredients - no prep needed yet.

  • egg noodles
  • 59.1 ml vegetable oil
  • unsalted peanuts
  • 2.46 ml chilli flakes
  • 4.93 ml Szechuan peppercorns
  • 14.8 ml oyster sauce
  • 29.6 ml light soy sauce

Prepare

  • 2 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • root ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • lamb steak or fillet, finely sliced
  • 1 leek, finely sliced lengthways

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Cook the egg noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.

  2. Step 2.

    Heat a wok over high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once the oil is smoking hot, add the peanuts, chilli flakes, Szechuan peppercorns, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Step 3.

    Add the finely sliced lamb and leek to the wok. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until everything turns golden brown and the lamb is tender but still slightly pink in the middle.

  4. Step 4.

    Use a knife to cut through the cooked noodles a couple of times to help them mix with the other ingredients. Tip the noodles into the wok, then pour over the oyster sauce and light soy sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are completely coated and warmed through. Serve immediately.
