Prepare the egg noodles according to packet instructions.Pour cold water, drain and set it aside.
Heat a wok and pour in some peanut oil.Add the ginger garlic and stir fry the lobsters for a min.Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.Now stir fry the veggies except the corriander and spring onion for about 2 mins and then bring back the lobsters.Beer is the secret ingredient, it adds a nice twist to the flavours.About 100 ml of any larger/beer u desire.Heat it thru.Add the noodles at this stage and the oyster sauce, vinegar and salt to taste.Mix well and throw in the corriander and spring onion.Plate up and drizzle with chilli oil.
what beautiful photographs! this sounds and looks scrumptious!
Oh, noodles. I haven’t cooked noodles in 2 weeks. I had some pad thai for lunch at a Thai restaurant yesterday though.
Your photo is enough to convince me to cook some up this week. I like the black bacground. It brings out the colours on the noodles.

I knew you’d eventually come up with something tht was made of noodles….and wht a creation. I have the urge for noodles now at 11:30pm.
Are those lobsters? They look like a plumped up shrimp…anyway, they look sooo good and succulent.
