Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss them with a splash of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
- Incorporate the julienned carrots, sliced bell peppers, and broccoli florets into the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain crisp-tender and vibrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey until well combined to create the savory sauce.
- Introduce the cooked noodles to the pan, then pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring an even coating and that all ingredients are heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Tips
- For added protein, consider adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp to the stir fry. Cook these before adding the vegetables.
- Feel free to substitute or add any seasonal vegetables such as snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms to enhance the dish.
- For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
