Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 200g noodles
  2. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  3. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  4. 1 bell pepper, sliced
  5. 1 carrot, julienned
  6. 2 green onions, chopped
  7. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  8. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure that the noodles, vegetables, and seasonings are prepped and ready to use.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, prepare your vegetables. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  6. Next, add the sliced bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
  7. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the drained noodles to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together to combine well, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.
  8. Continue to stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to heat through and absorb the flavors of the soy sauce.
  9. Season the stir-fry with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that soy sauce is already salty, so add salt cautiously.
  10. Finally, add the chopped green onions to the skillet and toss everything together for another minute to combine the flavors.
  11. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the soy sauce stir fry noodles hot. Enjoy your meal!

Tips

  1. Prep is Key: Have all your ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking. Stir frying moves quickly, so mise en place is crucial.
  2. High Heat, Quick Cooking: Use a wok or large skillet and keep the heat medium-high to achieve that perfect slightly charred, restaurant-style flavor.
  3. Don't Overcook Vegetables: Aim for crisp-tender veggies that retain their color and crunch. About 3-4 minutes of stir-frying is usually perfect.
  4. Sauce Distribution: Toss the noodles thoroughly to ensure every strand is coated with the delicious soy sauce.
  5. Optional Protein Boost: Feel free to add tofu, chicken, or shrimp to make this a more substantial meal.
  6. Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use fresh garlic and green onions for the most vibrant flavor profile.
