Vegetable Stir Fry Noodles
Description
This recipe uses ramen, soba, or lo mein noodles cooked separately and then tossed with fresh vegetables including chopped green beans, sliced red bell pepper, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and green onions. These vegetables are stir-fried in sesame oil with minced garlic and ginger for aromatic flavor. The sauce, made of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce or Sriracha, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes, adds a balanced tangy, sweet, umami, and mildly spicy element. Adding the sauce and noodles together in the skillet warms and combines all components thoroughly.
The result is a colorful dish featuring crisp-tender vegetables contrasted with soft, saucy noodles. It can be customized with additional veggies like broccoli or mushrooms, as noted in the recipe tips, adapting the quantity of sauce accordingly. Served as a vegetarian main or side, this stir fry suits a variety of meal occasions and tastes.
Adjust the spiciness by varying the chili garlic sauce and red pepper flakes, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor. Leftover stir fry can be reheated gently in a skillet.
Ingredients
- 4-5 oz noodles (ramen, soba, or lo mein noodles)
- 1 TBSP sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- ½ tsp ginger or 1 tsp ginger paste, freshly grated
- 2 cups green beans chopped, fresh
- 1 cup red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup cabbage or brussels sprouts, shredded
- ¼-½ cup carrot shredded
- ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
- 1 TBSP sesame seeds to garnish (optional, toasted
STIR FRY SAUCE
- 3 TBSP hoisin sauce
- 2 TBSP soy sauce plus extra for drizzling, low-sodium
- 1-2 TBSP Chili garlic sauce (Sriracha works as well!)
- 1 TBSP rice vinegar
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes crushed
Instructions
- Measure and prep veggies.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. The chili garlic sauce and red pepper flakes will determine the spiciness. If you'd like the sauce less spicy, add less of each then adjust to taste later by adding more if desired.
- Cook noodles according to package directions as they will vary by type. My ramen-style soba noodles were ready in 3 minutes. Once tender, drain noodles and set aside.
- Heat sesame oil (or olive/avocado oil if preferred) in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add bell pepper, carrot, and green beans. Cook, stirring frequently until tender.
- Next add cabbage, garlic, and ginger and cook for an additonal minute or two until the cabbage is wilted and the garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in sauce and noodles and cook, stirring frequently, for a few minutes until your noodles are hot and saucy!
- Top with green onion and optional sesame seeds. For even more heat, add some optional crushed red pepper flakes.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetable mix, including broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, or other favorite veggies.
- If increasing vegetable or noodle quantities beyond about 3.5 cups veggies total, prepare extra sauce to maintain flavor balance.
- Adjust chili garlic sauce and red pepper flakes to control spiciness according to preference.
