Noodles

Onions and carrots

What is a Chinese kitchen without noodles?

What do we need for 4 persons:

Can be different noodles

1 Big onion
2 Carrots
1 Leak
Packet of dried noodles (2 nests per person is already a lot)
Sunflower oil
Salt
White pepper
Brown sugar
Maggi
Bowl to drain (like a saladier)
Chop sticks for stirring or a large meat fork

First schredded the onions, carrots and leak, including the green, or if you are brave like Liqin then cut them into matches by hand.

How do we cook them:
Boil water in a wok
Add noodles
Stir with chop sticks about 5 minutes
Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water in a saladier (keep aside)

In the (same) wok

Add sunflower oil
