Asian-Style Noodle Cakes

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 130g fresh egg noodles
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander
• 2 green shallots, trimmed, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 eggs, lightly whisked
• Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbs vegetable oil
• Vegetable oil, for greasing
• 80ml (1/3 cup) sweet chilli sauce

Method

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse. Drain well. Use a pair of scissors to cut noodles into short lengths. Transfer to a large bowl. Add coriander, green shallots, garlic, ginger, eggs, salt and pepper, and toss well.
2. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Brush 4 egg rings with oil to lightly grease and place in pan. Divide 1/2 the noodle mixture among egg rings. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden. Drain on paper towel. Run a flat-bladed knife around each cake to remove egg rings. Cover cakes with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
