Ingredients

  • 150 g fresh, or 100g dry, egg noodles
  • 160 g fresh veggies, for example:
    • 40 g bean sprouts
    • 40 g carrot, julienned
    • 40 g thin sliced onion
    • 40 g garlic chives
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp sugar

Directions

  1. Soak noodles in boiling water for 2-5 minutes depending on if fresh or dry and thickness. (shoot for a little past al dente)
  2. Drain noodles and cut into 6 inch long pieces.
  3. Spread out on a cooling rack for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture
  4. Julienne vegetables while you wait for the noodles.
  5. Mix garlic, sauces, and sugar together for your stir-fry sauce.
  6. Heat a wok over high heat. Once it starts smoking, add some oil and stir fry the noodles.
  7. Once you start to see some crispy char bits on the noodles, add the veggies and stir fry.
  8. As you stir fry the veggies, add the sauce in 2 or 3 batches to avoid over-cooling.
  9. Once all the sauce has been added and things look good, take off the heat and serve.
