Instructions
Step 1
Bring water to a boil and place the noodles in a large pan or bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover the noodles, ensuring they are submerged to soften evenly. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until the noodles are fully softened. In a separate bowl, combine curry powder, turmeric, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of water.Step 2
Preheat the wok until it is very hot. Pour in the sunflower oil, then add the onion and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they soften and begin to brown slightly. Drain the noodles and place them in the pan, together with the sauce mixture and beansprouts. Continue stir-frying for an additional 3-4 minutes, making sure everything is well-coated with the sauce, until heated through. Adjust the seasoning with extra soy or sugar, according to your taste, and sprinkle over the chili if you prefer more spice.
