  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced

  • 1 red chili, sliced

  • Handful of fresh chopped parsley (approximately 2 tbsp)

  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  • 2 portions of egg noodles (approximately 125g per person)

Instructions-

  1. Boil water for your egg noodles and cook them according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

  2. While the water is boiling for the noodles, prepare your ingredients. Slice the garlic, red chili, and parsley.

  3. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and sauté until it starts to turn golden.

  8. If you enjoy extra freshness and heat, you can garnish the dish with additional parsley and chili to your liking.

  9. Add finely sliced vegetables of your choice before the garlic, such as bell peppers, baby corn, or mangetout, for added texture and flavoUr.

  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your “Pick Me Up” prawn noodles.
