Ingredients
Noodles and Vegetables
- 200 g egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bag stir fry vegetables (such as cabbage, carrots, and beans)
- 1/2 red chilli pepper, thinly sliced
- thumb-size piece ginger, sliced into matchsticks
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 lime, juice only
- 120 g packet oyster sauce
Garnish
- Dry roasted peanuts, chopped
- Coriander, chopped (optional)
- Additional lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Boil noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Mix sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, lime juice, and oyster sauce until well combined.
- Fry aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add sliced garlic, matchstick ginger, and sliced red chilli pepper. Fry gently until the garlic turns golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Cook vegetables: Add the bag of stir fry vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until the cabbage is just wilted and the carrots remain slightly crisp but tender.
- Add sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried vegetables. Using tongs, toss to combine evenly and coat the vegetables thoroughly.
- Toss noodles: Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together to ensure the noodles are coated with the sauce and mixed well with the vegetables.
- Serve and garnish: Divide the stir fry noodles into serving bowls. Top with chopped dry roasted peanuts and chopped coriander if using. Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen stir fry vegetables based on availability.
- Adjust the amount of chilli pepper to your preferred spice level.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute oyster sauce with a vegetarian-friendly mushroom sauce or hoisin sauce.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
- Ensure not to overcook the vegetables to retain their crisp texture and nutritional value.
