Increase the heat, add the kale and a pinch of salt then stir-fry for a few mins until it begins to wilt.Step 5
Push the kale to the side of the wok/ pan, add the drained noodles, along with the sauce mixture. Continue to stir fry for a few mins, until the noodles are well coated and lightly charred.Step 6
Finally, add the beansprouts and reserved fried shallots, and give everything a few final tosses to combine.Step 7
