Ingredients

  • bread flour – double the weight of the eggs
  • 15 ml light soy sauce
  • 13 ml dark soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 5 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ¼ of an onion washed
  • a small bunch of pea sprouts or bean shoots washed
  • 1 teaspoon peanut oil

Instructions

  • Break the eggs into a bowl and weigh them. Use double the weight of the eggs in high gluten flour (bread flour). Add the flour to the eggs and stir. Pour the mixture onto the countertop and knead the dough for three to five minutes, do not over-knead.
  • Using your pasta machine, adjust the settings for the thickness of the dough to the maximum. Cut the dough in half, wrapping one half in cling wrap. Flatten the other half and feed it through the machine. Fold it and pass it through again. Reduce the thickness by one notch on the machine and pass the dough through. Repeat, until you have reached the fourth or fifth setting. Dust the dough with flour and cut it into two equal pieces. Keep folding the dough and feeding it through the machine until you get to the first setting.
  • On the last setting,pass the noodles through the machine to cut them. Sprinkle them with flour so that they do not stick together.
  • Repeat steps two and three for the rest of the dough.
  • Heat a pot of water on the stove. Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauces, oyster sauce, sugar and oil into a small bowl and stir well.
  • Slice the onion lengthways. Cut the top and base off the bean sprouts. Heat a non-stick pan and add the peanut oil. Sweat the onion, remove and set aside. Leave the leftover oil in the pan for later.
  • When the water is boiling in the pot, place a serve of noodles into the water and cook for 60 seconds. Stir them as they cook, so they do not stick together. After cooking, take them out and rinse them with cold water. Let them drain for a couple of minutes.
  • Preheat the pan previously used for frying the onion, for one minute. Put the noodles into the pot and stir fry them for 8 minutes, tossing often to prevent sticking. Pour the sauce slowly over the noodles, coating them evenly. Add the onion and bean sprouts.
