- 2 tbsp rice wine (Shaoxing)
- 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

- 2Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Throw in the onion, carrot and garlic. Cook on medium-high heat for 1 minute, then reduce the heat slightly and add the mushrooms, prawns and spring onions, cooking for 3 minutes or until the carrot and onion is soft.

Buy egg noodles in packets where portions are arranged in small nests. Each nest easily serves one. You can use shredded chicken or sliced cooked pork instead of prawns.
