## Background

This is a recipe for stir fry, but it's really more of a template. Feel free to change it up a little to better suit your tastes or what is available for you.

## Ingredients
- 250 g egg noodles
- 50 g spring onion
- 150 g mushrooms
- 150 g tofu/shrimp/chicken (protein)
- 1 medium tomato
- 150 g bean sprouts
- 5 g ginger
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil

for the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons tamarind paste
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons sugar

## Cooking
Start by boiling the egg noodles and putting them to the side in a strainer. Then chop the spring onion, mushrooms, tomato, and tofu or chicken into small pieces, and grate the ginger. Start cooking the sauce in a small saucepan to the side. Add the onion, tomato, mushroom, bean sprouts, ginger, and your choice of protein into a wok pan or large frying pan with oil and put it to high heat. Let that cook for 5 minutes and add the noodles along with the sauce. Stir vigorously until everything is mixed together and coated in the sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes, and then it is ready!

## Serving

The stir fry should be brown and filled with noodles and vegetables and smell mildly of ginger. You can serve it with some lemon or lime, or eat it as it is.
