Exotic Fried Noodles

Hello!
Today I'm going to share with you my recipe on Exotic Fried Noodles.
This one is quite simple too. Just your regular noodles fried up after boiled, with some other elements joining the party ;)
You will need, for one very hungry person or two decent people :P :
- 250 gr. of home made noodles or 300 of store bought noodles
- 5 crab sticks (imitation crab meat) cut into cubes
- 6 or 7 broccoli florets
- 3 or 4 onion rings (I used a slice of leak because I didn't have onions)
- 1/4 cup of diced mango (you can substitute it by pineapple)
- water as needed
- a drizzle of sesame oil (or any other oil but sesame gives it that peculiar taste)
- a big pinch of Chinese 5 Spice
- salt, pepper and chili flakes to taste
- Frying pan

1 - Lets start by boiling the onion rings and broccoli florets for about 2 minutes in the frying pan with some water and a pinch of salt (let the water boil, add the veggies and count 2 minutes). When that's done, use a slotted spoon to scoop out these guys to a plate and set aside (you can use the same plate where you'll be eating this from... it helps with the dish cleaning :P).
2 - To the same water, add the noodles and add more water, if needed, to cover the noodles. These will take about 5 minutes to be cooked, but have a bite just to make sure (carefully because it will be very hot!). Scoop out the noodles to a plate (which can still be the previously used :P) and drain the water from the frying pan.
3 - Add a drizzle of sesame oil to the frying pan, let it heat a bit on medium-low heat, and add in the broccoli, onion rings, diced mango and crab stick cubes. Give it a stir, they don't need to get brown, and add in the noodles. Season with the Chinese 5 Spice, salt, pepper and chili flakes according to your taste (don't forget to taste everything before seasoning, sometimes it doesn't need any more salt) and keep stirring the noodles quickly so they don't stick to the bottom of the pan, and let them achieve a golden brown color. Turn of the heat and serve.
To make it similar to the original Neopets image, try to keep the broccoli florets and the onion rings on top of the noodles, as if garnishment. Enjoy!
