Ingredients

  • 1lb e-fu noodles(fresh or rehydrated)
  • 4oz dried shiitake mushrooms(rehydrated and sliced)
  • 8oz prawns(peeled and deveined)
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 pcs garlic cloves(minced)
  • 1 tsp ginger(minced)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 pcs scallions(chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. If using dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them in warm water for at least 30 minutes, then squeeze out excess water and slice thinly.
  2. Prepare the e-fu noodles according to package directions. If fresh, they usually require a brief blanch. If dried, soak them until pliable.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, chicken broth, and sesame oil to make the braising liquid.

Cooking

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the prepared prawns and stir-fry until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove prawns from the wok and set aside.
  3. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for another minute.
  4. Pour in the braising liquid and bring it to a simmer. Add the e-fu noodles and toss gently to coat them in the sauce. Let them absorb the liquid for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through and tender.
  5. Return the cooked prawns to the wok. Toss everything together to combine and heat the prawns through.

Serving

  1. Transfer the braised e-fu noodles and prawns to a serving platter.
  2. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving hot.

Tips

  • Ensure shiitake mushrooms are fully rehydrated for a better texture and flavor when braised.
  • Do not overcook the prawns; they should be just pink and tender when added back to the noodles.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the noodles at their best texture, complemented by the rich sauce.
