  • Put in the ginger garlic and chilli and stir.
  • They will colour in a minute or possibly so depending on the heat of your oil.
  • Chop up the broccoli a bit so it is not too difficult to get it into your mouth.
  • Throw it into the wok with the noodles.
  • Stir the whole lot around a bit then tip in a couple of Tbsp.
  • of soy and the same amount of oyster sauce.
  • You are unlikely to need salt and certainly not pepper but taste the noodles all the same.
  • Stir around so which nothing sticks then tip everything on to a hot plate.
  • This is one of those rather personal recipes which I chuck together when I want something to eat but can't be bothered to cook.
  • It has the effect of satisfying both the appetite and the need for something warm and savoury but is virtually no trouble.
  • It is one of those things I could cook in my sleep.
  • Though hardly earth shatteringly original this is a recipe I end up doing again and again.
  • What you might call useful.
