Nadiya’s Time To Eat recipes – egg rolls

For Nadiya’s egg roll recipe, you will need 6 eggs, 1 tbsp of dried parsley, 1 tsp garlic granules, 6 small tortilla wraps, sliced black olives, sliced mushrooms, 6 tsp of sun-dried tomato paste. You will also need salt and pepper to season, plus oil for frying.

Step 1:First, crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk, then add the parsley, garlic, salt and pepper.

Step 2: Heat a small drizzle of oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Then pour 3tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan – make sure they sizzle when they hit the hot pan, as you don’t want the heat to be too low.

Step 3: Add some olive slices and mushroom slices on top of the egg mixture.

Step 4: Take a tortilla and smear one side of it with the sun-dried tomato paste. Put the tortilla on top of the egg, paste-side down. Let cook for about 30 seconds then flip over and cook on the tortilla side for 30 seconds.

Step 5: Remove your tortilla/egg and roll it up when it is cool enough to handle. Then keep the production line going – make as many egg rolls as you want!

How to make the instant noodle recipe

Nadiya’s instant noodles are customisable for your tastes, but they all have the base of her chilli paste. If you make Nadiya’s chilli paste, you can store it in the fridge for up to two months, so you can have instant noodles whenever you want!

For the chilli paste, you will need 2 whole bulbs of garlic, 3 white onions, balsamic vinegar, oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, soft brown sugar and 2 jars of chilli paste.

Step 1: Peel the garlic cloves – you can pour boiling water over them first to make this process easier – then chop the onions. Nadiya blitzes the garlic and onions in a food processor to speed up the process, rather than dicing them by hand.

Step 2: Sweat the onions and garlic in whatever oil you usually use until they are golden brown.

Step 3: Add the vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, 1 tbsp of soft brown sugar, and the 2 jars of chilli paste to the onions and garlic. Cook in the frying pan for around 20 minutes, or until the mixture has reached a jammy consistency. Store in a jar in the fridge.
