  • 1 tsp ginger paste or fresh ginger (optional but recommended)

  • Optional protein: crispy tofu, chicken, beef, or shrimp

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir well and set aside.
  • Chop all your veggies and set aside. Be sure to cut them thin, so they cook quickly.
  • Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat and add oil.
  • Season the meat or tofu with salt and pepper and fry until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • Add onion, carrot, broccoli, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

Notes

Tips
 
  1. If you want spicier noodles, add some fresh chillies, chilli flakes or more chilli oil
  2. Add another tablespoon of honey or sugar for a sweeter sauce.
  3. For saucier noodles, double the sauce ingredients
  4. For gluten-free stir fry noodles, swap out the sauce ingredients and noodles for gluten-free options.
