    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Cover rice noodles with boiling water and leave to stand for 10 minutes. Drain.

    2 While the noodles are sitting, heat half the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high heat.

    3 Pour in the beaten egg and cook until set (about 30 seconds), stirring with a spatula to break up. Set aside.

    4 Heat remaining oil in the pan. Add sausage and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Now add prawns and stir-fry for a further 4—5 minutes.

    5 Add rice noodles to the pan with sambal paste, soy sauce, and red capsicum. Cook for 1 minute, using a spatula or spoon to keep the noodles moving, separating any strands that stick together.

    6 Add bean sprouts, spring onions, water and bok choy; cook for 1 more minute over high heat, stirring until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

    7 Add egg and serve immediately.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free sausages and check soy sauce is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    You can find sambal paste, made of chillies and shrimp, in the international section of the supermarket or at Asian food stores.
