Description
Quick and customizable stir-fried noodles that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of noodles (egg noodles, rice noodles, or soba)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup snap peas or green beans
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or mushroom sauce for a vegetarian alternative)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Tofu or chicken, green onions, crushed peanuts for garnish, lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Start by boiling a pot of water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the noodles. Cook them according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, sautéing for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly translucent.
- Now, add the bell pepper, broccoli, carrot, and snap peas. Stir-fry them for about 4–5 minutes until they’ve softened just a bit, yet still retain some crunch.
- Push the veggies to the side of the pan, creating a small space in the center. Drizzle a bit more oil in that space, and add the cooked noodles. Toss everything together, and let it cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. Pour this sauce evenly over the noodles and stir well.
- If you’re using any optional add-ins like tofu or chicken, add them now and stir until they’re heated through. For a burst of freshness, sprinkle chopped green onions and crushed peanuts on top just before serving.
