Ingredients
Vegetables and Noodles
- 200g noodles (cooked)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cabbage)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Sauces and Oils
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large pan over high heat until shimmering.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic and stir-fry quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently to keep them crisp-tender and evenly cooked.
- Add noodles: Incorporate the cooked noodles into the pan. Toss well to combine with the vegetables.
- Add sauces: Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the 1 teaspoon of sesame oil (if using). Stir everything continuously so the noodles and vegetables are coated evenly with the sauce.
- Finish and serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, give a final toss, then remove from heat. Serve the stir-fry hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add tofu or chicken for extra protein.
- Do not overcook vegetables to keep them crisp.
- Use freshly cooked noodles for best texture; day-old refrigerated noodles may become sticky.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce based on your preferred saltiness.
