• In a wok using a little moderately hot peanut oil, fry two of the onions and garlic.
• When the onions become transparent, add the following: ginger, black pepper, cauliflower and celery.
• Stir-fry until vegetables are half-cooked.
• Now add the following: cabbage, leeks, bean sprouts, pork, ketjap manis, shrimp paste& salt.
• In a large pot of boiling water on high heat, immerse the egg noodles.
• Separate them with a fork as soon as they hit the water and boil for 3-4 minutes.
• NO LONGER as they will cook further when mixed with the vegetables.
• When the noodles are cooked, pour them into a colander and rinse with cold water.
• To prevent the noodles from becoming a solid mass, separate them again as you rinse.
• On a low heat, mix the noodles with the cooked vegetables and add the Sambal Oelek.
• Using a different pan, fry the remaining onions in hot oil until they are brown and crisp.
• Make an omelet using the 2 whisked eggs and cut into strips.
