Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 200g egg noodles
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, peas)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping mixed vegetables into small, uniform pieces. Slice green onions finely and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Allow oil to become hot but not smoking.
- Add mixed vegetables to the hot wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly tender but retain their crisp texture.
- Add cooked noodles to the vegetables, tossing gently to combine. Spread noodles evenly across the pan to ensure even heating.
- Pour soy sauce over noodles and vegetables, stirring continuously to distribute flavors evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes, allowing noodles to develop slight crispy edges and absorb the sauce.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- For the best texture, use fresh egg noodles and don't overcook them - aim for that perfect al dente consistency.
- Ensure your wok or skillet is hot before adding ingredients to achieve that classic stir-fry sear.
- Cut vegetables into uniform, small pieces to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Use high-quality sesame oil for an authentic, rich flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Don't be afraid to customize - add protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make the dish more substantial.
- Keep ingredients moving constantly while stir-frying to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the noodles at their crispiest and most flavorful moment.
