This is a super vegetarian dish; you can add two pan-fried chicken breasts, cut into strips.
Ingredients
400g fresh rice noodles
1/2 cup unsalted cashews
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tsp ginger, freshly grated
1 bunch Shanghai bok choy, chopped
1 bunch gai larn, chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
4 tbsp crisp-fried shallots*

Method
Place noodles in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover for 2-3 minutes, gently shaking the strips apart with a pair of chopsticks. Drain.
Heat a large wok over high heat. Add cashews and toss for 1 min or until golden. Remove.
Add oil, garlic, ginger and stems of bok choy and gai larn (reserving leaves) to wok and stir-fry for 3-4 mins or until stems are tender. Add bok choy and gai larn leaves, soy and sweet chili sauces, stir-fry for 2-3 mins or until leaves have just wilted. Stir in noodles and cashews and toss to combine.
To serve
Sprinkle with crisp-fried shallots and serve immediately.
