1
Boil the noodles a minute shy of the packet time, drain, and toss with a splash of the Peanut Oil so they don't clump.
2
Heat the rest of the Peanut Oil in a wok until it shimmers, then flash the garlic for a few seconds.
3
Add the shrimp and cook until just done, then splash in the soy sauce.
4
Slide the noodles in and toss vigorously for 60 seconds so every strand picks up the sauce.
5
Finish off the heat with spring onions and fresh cilantro.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
