Ingredients

  • 8 oz chow mein noodles or thin spaghetti
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup snow peas or green beans
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • For the sauce:
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce or vegetarian stir-fry sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce or vegetarian alternative, rice vinegar, sugar, water, and cornstarch if using. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add carrots, bell peppers, and green beans. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, then add cabbage and snow peas. Cook another 2–3 minutes until vegetables are just tender-crisp.
  5. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly and heat through, about 2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add tofu, tempeh, or mushrooms for extra protein.
  • Use chili garlic sauce or sriracha for a spicier version.
  • Rinse cooked noodles in cold water to prevent overcooking and stickiness.
  • Use gluten-free noodles and tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Best reheated in a skillet with a splash of water for texture.
