Stir Fried Hokkien Flat Noodles

Since I have some left over hokkien flat noodles and big white cabbages, I decided to use it as fried noodles dish as bot ingredients goes well with each other. I got abit of inspiration from those zichar dishes like hor fan, hong kong noodles etc. Normally those zichar stalls will have fish cakes, prawns and sotong in them.

As I always prefer to do it in my own style, so I omited prawns and sotong and using some simple ingredients to make it more homestyled.

Ingredients:
2 crabsticks - cut about 2 cm length
Some leafy vegetables
Soba noodles(1 serving portion)

I bot the ready to use soba sauce as per below.

1. I blanch the crabstick and vegetables 1st in boiling salt water.(p.s for crabstick pls use only boiled plain water and vegetables with boiled salt water.
2. Set aside and I continue to cook the soba noodle. Once the noodle is cooked, put the noodles to cold water and wait for about 2 mins.
3. While waiting for the noodle to cool down, I went on to arrange the crabstick and veggie neatly and nicely on a serving plate.
4. Place the noodle on the serving plate. 

Tip: the correct way of eating this noodle is dip the noodle in the soba sauce and then bring it to your mouth. 

It's so delicious that I don't even have to add in extra seasoning as the noodle and soba sauce already goes so well with each other.
