Malaysian Noodles

Dominance of peanuts is what makes the Malaysian Noodles stand apart from other Oriental noodle recipes. As always, the noodles are prepared with typical ingredients like garlic, capsicum, spring onions, bean sprouts and soya sauce. However, crushed peanuts are used here as both a seasoning and a garnish, giving the noodles an enjoyably rustic mouth feel. Add the crushed peanut garnish just before serving to retain the crispness.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes.
Cooking Time: 9 minutes.
Serves 4.

3 cups boiled flat noodles
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp crushed garlic (lehsun)
½ cup thinly sliced spring onions whites
½ cup thinly sliced capsicum
½ cup diagonally cut carrot
1 cup bean sprouts
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp soya sauce
2 tbsp roasted and coarsely crushed peanuts
Salt to taste
½ cup paneer (cottage cheese) or tofu (bean curd/ soya paneer) cubes

For the garnish
1 tbsp roasted and coarsely crushed peanuts
1 tbsp chopped spring onion greens

1. Heat the oil in a wok or a deep non-stick kadhai on a high flame, add the garlic and onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Add the capsicum and sauté on a medium flame for another minute.
3. Add the carrots and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute.
4. Add the bean sprouts and saute on a medium flame for 1 more minute.
5. Add the lemon juice, chilli powder, sugar, soya sauce and peanuts, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute, while stirring occasionally.
6. Add the salt and paneer, mix gently and cook on a medium flame for 1 minute.
7. Add the noodles, toss gently and cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
