Instructions
- Start by cooking the noodles as per the package instructions. Once done, drain them well and set aside.
- In a large wok or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it emits a fragrant aroma. Follow this by adding the sliced onions and stir-fry until they turn translucent.
- Next, introduce the julienned carrots and thinly sliced bell peppers to the pan. Continue to stir-fry the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened yet retain their vibrant color.
- Now, it's time to add the cooked noodles to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
