Ingredients
Noodles
- 8 oz (225 g) stir-fry noodles or spaghetti
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, sliced
Sauce and Garnish
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Heat the oil and aromatics: In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the sliced red bell pepper, julienned carrot, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Stir-fry these fresh vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing them to become tender-crisp and retain their vibrant color.
- Add noodles and sauce: Incorporate the cooked noodles into the wok with the vegetables. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce. Toss everything together thoroughly so the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated and heated through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds and the sliced green onions for added flavor and a fresh finish. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For added protein, consider including tofu, chicken, or shrimp during the stir-fry step.
- Feel free to adjust the vegetable selection based on seasonality or personal preference.
- This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness and crispness of the vegetables.
