  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, lime juice, and oyster sauce until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried vegetables. Using tongs, toss to combine evenly and coat the vegetables thoroughly.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
