  • 150 g snake beans (cut into 2 cm pieces)

  • 1 1/2 tsp. caster sugar

  • 2 tbsp. dark soy sauce

    Cook until tomato starts to collapse.

  5. 5

    Add the beans and cook for a further 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add 750ml water (it should just cover the mixture).

  7. 7

    Add the remaining light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar to taste.

  8. 8

    Put a lid on and cook for 2 minutes, then add the noodles and cook for a further 5 minutes so the noodles absorb all the liquid.
