Instructions

In a small jug, combine soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, red chilli flakes (if using), and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat half the oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the prawns and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until pink and cooked. Remove and repeat with remaining prawns.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok, add frozen vegetables, and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until just softened.
Add chopped garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return prawns to the wok along with the sauce and Hokkien noodles. Stir-fry for 1–2 minutes until noodles are hot and evenly coated in sauce.
Top with sliced green shallots and red chilli, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use chicken, beef, or tofu instead of prawns for variation.

Fresh vegetables like capsicum, snow peas, or bok choy work beautifully.

For a vegetarian version, replace oyster sauce with hoisin sauce and omit prawns.

Add more chilli or sambal oelek for a spicier kick.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat quickly in a hot pan to avoid soggy noodles.

Use gluten-free sauces and rice noodles for a gluten-free alternative.
