  1. EGG NOODLES

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

  2. CRISPY Ostrich

    Place a pan over high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Pat the Ostrich dry with paper towel, coat in the spicy flour, and season. When hot, fry the ostrich until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  3. SAUCY VEGGIES

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onions and the pepper strips until lightly charred but still crunchy, 3-4 minutes. Add the grated Garlic and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Pour in 50ml of water and simmer until thickening, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked noodles, the crispy Ostrich, and the oriental sauce. Remove from the heat and season.
