Ingredients

2 x 70-85gram packets of dried instant noodles
1 cup bok choy chopped
fried shallots and sesame seeds to serve

Sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek or garlic and chilli sauce

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the noodles for 2-3 minutes until they start to come apart and are soft. Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients together.
Drain the noodles and add the bok choy to the pan with a little of the sauce. Saute until just tender, before adding the noodles back into the pan with the sauce. Stir the sauce through the noodles and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and completely coated the noodles.
Serve the noodles immediately topped with fried shallots and sesame seeds.
