Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 200g sweet potato noodles
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili paste (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 200g of sweet potato noodles, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 cup of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers and carrots), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili paste (if you like it spicy), and 2 chopped green onions.
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the sweet potato noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. You can use any combination of vegetables you prefer.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add the drained sweet potato noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together to combine.
- Pour in the soy sauce and chili paste (if using) over the noodles and vegetables. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Finally, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Give everything a final toss to combine.
- Serve the Singapore Sweet Potato Noodles hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy your delicious and colorful meal!
Tips
- Choose Your Veggies Wisely: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and broccoli all work beautifully in this dish. The more colorful your veggies, the more visually appealing your meal will be!
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Sweet potato noodles can become mushy if overcooked. Keep an eye on them and aim for a tender yet slightly firm texture. They should have a nice bite to them when you drain and toss them with the vegetables.
- Adjust the Spice Level: If you love heat, don’t hesitate to add more chili paste or even a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. For a milder version, simply leave out the chili paste altogether.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: Enhance your dish with toppings like sesame seeds or fresh cilantro for added flavor and texture. A squeeze of lime can also brighten up the flavors!
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is perfect for meal prepping! You can cook the noodles and vegetables ahead of time and simply reheat them when you're ready to eat. Just add the sauce before serving for the best flavor.
