Cabbage Glass Noodles Stir Fry
Description
This stir fry begins with cooking mung bean vermicelli until just tender and cutting it into manageable strands. The sauce mixes light and dark soy sauces with sugar to combine savory and sweet notes. After heating oil in a wok or skillet, garlic and dried chili peppers release fragrance and mild heat. Cabbage is added and cooked briefly until it starts to soften, then the noodles and sauce are incorporated. Stirring allows the sauce to coat the noodles and cabbage thoroughly while the vegetables finish cooking to a tender texture.
The resulting dish offers a gentle onion-garlic flavor with a slight kick from the chilies, contrasted with the soft, springy glass noodles. It fits well as a side dish in an Asian-inspired meal or any setting where a vegetable and noodle combination is desired.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch mung bean vermicelli (yields 1 cup after soaking)
- 1/4 head (12 oz / 350 g) cabbage , sliced into 1/2” (1 cm) pieces (yields about 4 cups after cutting)
- Pinch salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 dried chili peppers , cut into 3 to 4 pieces (keep them whole for a less spicy dish)
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce light
- 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the dry glass noodles and cook according to instructions until al-dente. Rinse with tap water to stop cooking and drain. Cut into 3” (8 cm) strands.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat a large skillet or a wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Add the dried pepper and garlic and stir a few times to release fragrance.
- Add the cabbage and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, to coat evenly with oil, until the cabbage just starts to turn tender.
- Add the glass noodles and pour in the sauce. Stir and cook until the sauce is absorbed and the cabbage turns tender. Turn to medium-low heat and carefully taste the cabbage. Sprinkle with a bit more salt to adjust seasoning, if needed. Transfer to a plate and serve hot as a side dish.
