Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh egg noodles
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by separating the fresh egg noodles to ensure they are not clumped together.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the noodles in boiling water for 2 minutes until they are just cooked but still firm. Drain thoroughly.
Step 3
Spread the blanched noodles on a clean kitchen towel or a baking sheet lined with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Pat the noodles gently with additional paper towels if needed.
Step 4
Sprinkle cornstarch over the noodles and gently toss to evenly coat. This helps create extra crispiness during frying.
Step 5
In a large pan or wok, heat 500 ml of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You can test the oil's readiness by placing a small piece of noodle in the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Step 6
Carefully add a portion of the noodles to the hot oil, using tongs or a slotted spoon to lower them gently to avoid splattering. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry each batch for about 3-5 minutes or until the noodles turn golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally with tongs or a slotted spoon to ensure even frying.
Step 8
Remove the crispy noodles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper immediately after frying each batch.
Step 9
Allow to cool completely. Serve the crispy noodles as a base for stir-fried vegetables and meats, as a topping for salads, or enjoy them as a crunchy snack.
