Method
- 1
Get started. Put a wok or big pan over a high flame. Tip in the oil, next the onion plus heat to soften it for a minute once hot.
- 2
Mix. Tip in the tofu plus french beans, plus heat to give this tofu a bit of colour - two in order to three minutes. Mix lightly as you heat, so as not to break the tofu.
- 3
Cook. Tip in the choi sum plus, when it wilts, the noodles. Spread them in this wok using tongs or chopsticks - you want them in order to get a lot of heat, almost in order to fry.
- 4
Blend. Blend lightly, cooking the noodles for around two minutes. Tip in the spices, sambal olek, soy sauce, bean sprouts plus a tablespoon of cold water, and toss carefully.
- 5
Finish. Heat for around a minute, or till the noodles are semi-soft. Move the noodles in bowls plus top using shredded lettuce plus crunchy shallots when ready to serve.

Finish (2). On the side, offer lemon wedges and a little bowl of extra sambal.
