Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables: slice bell peppers, cut broccoli into small florets, julienne the carrot, mince ginger, and chop green onions.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
- Heat a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add minced ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add carrots and broccoli to the pan, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but remain crisp.
- Push vegetables to one side of the pan and pour beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble eggs until just set, then mix with the vegetables.
- Add bell peppers and continue stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add cooked noodles to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour soy sauce over the noodles and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly and create a glossy finish.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and noodles to heat through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve hot immediately, optionally with extra soy sauce or chili sauce on the side.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop all your vegetables in advance. You can even store them in the fridge for a day or two before cooking.
- Noodle Cooking: Make sure to cook the egg noodles just until al dente, as they will continue to cook when stir-fried. Rinsing them in cold water helps stop the cooking process and prevents them from becoming mushy.
- High Heat: Stir-frying is best done over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the vegetables while keeping them crisp and vibrant.
- Ingredient Order: Always add ingredients to the pan in the order of cooking time. Start with the hardest vegetables (like carrots and broccoli) and finish with softer ones (like bell peppers) to ensure everything is cooked perfectly.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or whatever you have on hand. Snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms can be great additions!
- Add Some Spice: If you like a kick, consider adding a splash of chili sauce or red pepper flakes for an extra layer of flavor.
- Garnish for Freshness: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and a burst of flavor that elevates the dish.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fried dishes are best enjoyed fresh off the stove. Serve hot and enjoy the delightful mix of textures and flavors!
