From what I recall at my dad's restaurant, they cooked the noodles and then fried them between 2 big curved meshed sieve-like things (don't know the names sorry).

Just get a packet of egg noodles from supermarket, cook as per instructions then deep fry for a minute. Alternatively, buy the noodles from chinese supermarket, put noodles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water, cover the bowl and leave unti noodles are soft but not too soft.. probably about 10minutes. Drain noodles and then fry when cooled.

Thank you for the help I will have to try frying the noodles after cooking them would never have thought of that. Do you know how to make the stir fry sauces I usually buy them in pots but would love to know how to cook them I have either sweet chilli sauce or lemon and pepper which has quite a strong taste sort of oily texture.

Some white of the Zest was added

The white is pith. The zest is coloured. The zest and the pith together make the rind. You didn't pick up a marmalade orange (Seville) by mistake did you, they're sometimes labelled as cooking oranges and can be very bitter?

This thread is amazing. Can't wait to try some of these recipies.

Could you tell me if singapore fried rice would be similar to the noodles, do you have to do anything different for this?

Congrats on the engagement also

The recipe says to grate the zest and include the oranges, so it really doesn't matter if I grate some of the white stuff as the orange is going into the pot anyhow.

...as for the oranges they were normal eating oranges, big ones.

Thanks, these recipes are amazing!

Do you know what OK sauce is? Our Chinese make it - it is gorgeous, but other restaurants/take-aways look at us blank when we ask them.

It is a sweet sticky sauce (usually with crispy beef/pork).

Thanks

Great thread. Great idea and very well done.

One thing I have never been able to make anything like from a takeaway or restaurant is soft fried noodles. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks kwai,

Bob
