Method

  • 1.
    Soak pipis in cold salted water for 30 minutes to purge any impurities. Drain, rinse under cold running water, then drain again.
  • 2.
    Cook noodles in a large saucepan of boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain then transfer to a large serving plate with half the oil. Toss to coat and cover to keep warm.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, heat a large frypan over high heat until hot. Add remaining oil, XO sauce and pipis. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until pipis open and release some juices (discard any that do not open). Stir through half the shallot and coriander, then pour pipis and sauce over noodles.
  • 4.
    Serve immediately, sprinkled with remaining shallot and coriander, with chopped chilli alongside.
