Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fresh wheat noodles or fresh egg noodles (or fresh ramen or udon noodles)
- 1 cup julienned carrots (about 150 g)
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed (about 100 g)
- 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper (about 75 g)
- 1 cup baby bok choy, roughly chopped (about 100 g)
- 3 green onions, sliced thinly
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 tsp sugar
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnishes: toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro leaves, chili flakes or sliced fresh chili
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Mince garlic and ginger, slice green onions, julienne carrots and bell pepper, trim snap peas, and chop baby bok choy.
- Cook the noodles: Add fresh noodles to boiling water and cook 3-5 minutes until just tender but still firm. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss lightly with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
- Make the sauce: Whisk together light soy sauce, oyster sauce, toasted sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Heat the wok or skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Cook aromatics: Add minced garlic and ginger to hot oil, stir quickly until fragrant but not browned (about 30 seconds).
- Stir-fry vegetables: Add carrots, snap peas, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes until just starting to soften but still crisp. Add baby bok choy and cook 1 more minute until leaves wilt.
- Add noodles and sauce: Add drained noodles to wok, pour sauce over, and gently toss to coat evenly without breaking noodles.
- Finish with green onions: Stir in sliced green onions and remove wok from heat immediately.
- Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, or chili flakes if desired.
Notes
If noodles start sticking or pan feels dry, splash a little water or broth to loosen. Avoid overcrowding pan to keep vegetables crisp. Use high heat for signature wok flavor but watch garlic to prevent burning. For gluten-free, use rice or shirataki noodles and adjust cooking time.
