3.Make a well in centre of noodles. Add remaining oil and egg. Mix egg very gently to help cook.once egg has just set, turn noodles back into centre and gently lift from base to stir egg through.

4.Season to taste. Toss through bean sprouts and lettuce. Remove from heat. Serve topped with lime wedges and fried shallots, if desired.

Use two packs of Asian Home Gourmet Indonesian Mee Goreng instead of tomato and chilli sauces. Look in the refrigerator section of your local supermarket for pre-fried or marinated varieties of firm tofu.
