2. In a medium sized frying pan or a wok heat 1 cup  oil.

When it is hot add the tempeh slices and reduce the heat to medium and fry till the tempeh turns into a golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes.Drain and set it aside. Keep the remaining oil.

In a large sized saucepan add 1 liter of water and bring to a boil. When the water comes to a boil, add the dry noodles and the seasoning that comes with the noodles packet. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil if the seasoning that comes with the noodles packet does not contain any oil. We add the oil so that the noodle stands will not stick together and form a lump. Cook for about 4 minutes (or according to the instruction given in the noodles packet). Drain and leave the noodles in the colander so that all the water will drop off.

Method

In a large frying pan or a wok heat two tablespoon of leftover oil from frying tempeh.

When the oil is hot reduce the heat to medium and add 1 large onion chopped coarsely and fry for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 green chili chopped small, 1 carrot grated, 100 grams celery cut fine and 80 grams beans chopped fine and fry for 5 minutes.
Add 200 grams Bok choy and fry for 3 minutes.

Add½ teaspoon salt.


Stir and mix everything well.
