Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz chow mein noodles
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it warm until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they are crisp-tender.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan and pour the soy sauce over everything. Toss continuously to coat and heat through for about 2 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If the noodles feel dry, add a splash of water or additional soy sauce and toss again.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce for tamari or a gluten-free soy alternative. Add tofu or a pre-cooked protein for extra texture.
