"Word is, more marriage proposals have occurred over this noodle number than anything else in the Chin Chin menu. A little hellfire goes a long way, right?" - Benjamin Cooper, chef at Chin Chin Melbourne

This recipe is by Benjamin Cooper, chef at Chin Chin Melbourne

200g fresh egg noodles
1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
250g green prawns, peeled, deveined, chopped
2 eggs
1 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs oyster sauce, plus extra, to serve
20g dried black fungus mushrooms (from Asian grocers), soaked, drained, roughly chopped
1 tsp caster sugar
1/4 bunch garlic chives or chive flowers, cut into 3cm lengths (optional, from Asian grocers)
2 long green shallots, finely sliced
1/2 bunch coriander, separated into sprigs, to garnish
2 tbs fried garlic, to garnish
1/3 cup (80ml) chilli oil, to serve

Method

1.

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over high heat Add noodles and return to the boil, stirring to separate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender, then drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
2.

Heat a large wok over high heat. Add oil and continue to heat until smoking. Add the prawn and eggs, and stir-fry until egg is cooked and the prawns are just starting to turn opaque. This will happen quickly.
3.

Add the soy and oyster sauce and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the noodles, black fungus and sugar, and cook for another minute or so, tossing and stirring the ingredients constantly.
4.

Finally, add the garlic chives, toss to combine and remove from heat.
5.

Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with extra oyster sauce and finish with shallots, coriander and crispy garlic. Serve with a ramekin of chilli oil on the side – you can add a drizzle on top of the noodles if you like even more of a kick.
