I
recently got a Jamie Oliver can of spicy smoked oysters. In India, esp in the
northern parts, oysters aren’t available easily and neither cooked often. So I bought
this just to see how the experiment goes! I also got the flat egg noodles. one day I thought I’ll make something
nice with these 2 ingredients. Luckily I had everything
required for a stir fry in the fridge, and had just seen the episode of ‘Everyday
Exotic’ on TLC to know about perfect stir fry technique. So here’s this fun
recipe of Oyster Broccoli Stir fry noodles in peanut sauce. I am sure once you
have this you’ll be making this every week! You can also change the recipe very
easily for chicken, fish, eggs or any other main protein you wish to add.
Preparation Time: 30 mins

Recipe
of Oyster Broccoli Stir fry noodles in peanut sauce
- Cut broccoli and carrot into small pieces.
- Blanch the broccoli florets and carrot in boiling water for 6-7 mins. Drain and keep aside.
- Crush the peanuts in a blender into smaller pieces but not too fine.
- Meanwhile keep the egg noodles for boiling. Follow the instructions on the pack as it may vary. Usually it takes 8-10 mins on medium heat. Do not boil 100% as it would be further cooked in stir fry.
- In a wok heat the oil. Bring it to high heat. We need very hot pan for stir fry and keep all the other ingredients ready at your side.
- Add the finely chopped garlic. Stir for 5 seconds.
- Now add the mixed herbs and crushed peanuts. Stir for 10 seconds.
- Add the broccoli and carrots. Keep stirring for 1 min.
- Add chopped tomato. Stir for 1 min.
- Now add the oysters from the tin. Reduce heat to medium. Mix well.
- Add the wosterchire sauce, vinegar and ¼ the cup water. Let it cook for 2 mins.
- Now add the noodles and fold in the sauce gently using tongs of a flat spatula.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper as per your taste. Mix gently.
- Cook for 2-3 mins and serve hot! Yummy!!!
