Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz noodles (your choice)
- 2 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While noodles are cooking, prepare your vegetables. Slice bell peppers into thin strips, trim snap peas, and finely mince fresh ginger and green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced ginger to create the sauce base. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and stir-fry bell peppers and snap peas for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender but still vibrant in color.
- Add the cooked noodles to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the prepared ginger-soy sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing quickly to ensure even coating and heating.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and ensure the sauce is well distributed.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Ginger Soy Chinese Noodles immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Noodle Choice: Feel free to experiment with different types of noodles, such as rice noodles, udon, or even whole wheat. Each will provide a unique texture and flavor to your dish.
- Veggie Variations: Don’t hesitate to add other vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or bok choy for extra color and nutrition. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Make It Spicy: If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a splash of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your vegetables and sauce in advance. You can also cook the noodles a day before and refrigerate them, just reheat before combining.
- Garnish: For added flavor and presentation, try garnishing with crushed peanuts or fresh cilantro along with the sesame seeds and green onions.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair these noodles with protein such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make it a complete meal that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
