Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 200g dried noodles (egg or rice noodles)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice the mixed vegetables into thin, even pieces to ensure quick and uniform cooking. Mince the garlic finely to release maximum flavor.
  2. Stir-fry vegetables: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced vegetables and stir-fry for about 3 to 5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  3. Cook noodles: While stir-frying vegetables, boil noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  4. Toss with noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and toss everything together thoroughly, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to warm through.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Optionally, garnish with chopped scallions or sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider including tofu, chicken, or shrimp.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
  • Substitute vegetables according to seasonality or preference.
  • To make it gluten-free, use rice noodles and gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Cooking noodles last or simultaneously avoids sogginess.
