3. Add the sesame oil to the wok or frying pan, with the garlic, spring onions and peppers. Cook over a high heat for 3 - 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
4. Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the noodles, with the soy sauce and rice wine or dry sherry. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the beansprouts and cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes. If the noodles begin to stick, add a splash of water. Stir in the parsley and serve sprinkled with the sesame seeds.
