Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces dried egg noodles or fresh noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain them well and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften slightly.
  5. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together.
  6. Pour the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil over the noodles and vegetables. Toss continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  7. Stir in the bean sprouts during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onion before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian fried noodles option, skip any meat and add firm tofu cubes tossed in soy sauce before adding the noodles.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce mixture.
  • Use fresh, thick noodles for the best texture in this quick stir fry noodles dish.
