Quick & Easy Stir Fry Noodles

Author’s Note: 

Growing up this was one of the ways my mom would sneak vegetables into my brother’s carnivorous diet; by chopping the veggies thinly and mix it with something he likes in this case noodles. As for me, I love all sorts of noodles.

As I got older, It became my ‘clean out the fridge‘ food, meaning stir fry the noodles with whatever vegetables that are left in the fridge. Hope you enjoy~

Serving Size: 2- 2.5              Total Prep & Cooking Time: 20- 25 minutes
Ingredients to make Chinese Noodles: 
  • 2 diced Garlic
  • 1/3 cup of thinly julienne cut carrot (1/2 carrot)
  • 1/2 of thinly sliced yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup of thinly sliced Mushroom  (I used Shiitake Mushrooms today)
  •  2-3 thinly sliced bokchoy   (on the long-side, julienne cut)
  • 2 tea spoon of cooking oil
  • Optional: left-over steak (1 cup), can be replace with other preferable meat or even scrambled egg
  • 2 packages Udon noodles (found at asian grocery stores, any brand is fine) If you can’t find udon noodles, any kind of noodle is okay 🙂**PS if you are not in the mood to chop veggies, buy frozen veggies and use those**
Magic Sauce to make the noodles real slurpy: 
  • 2-3 table spoonSoy sauce (Any brand is fine, I buy Kikkoman)
  • Preference: if you want a little savory add 1 tea spoon of brown sugar
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 small drip of sesame oil
  • Optional: Jen’s spicy hot oil (Ingredient: cooking oil and red pepper flakes)
Optional Visual Touch: 
  • minced cilantro or green onion
  • Sprinkle of Shichimi Togarashi (yes it’s spicy)
How to Make this Naughty Noodle Dish
  1. Defrost the noodles in a bowl
  2. Chop the vegetables
    • Heat up the leftover meat
    • PS if you are not in the mood to chop veggies, buy frozen veggies and use those
  3. Mix the sauce (without Sesame oil  & Jen’s spicy hot oil)
    • For Jen’s spicy hot oil: put 1/3 cup of vegetable oil in a bowl, microwave for 3-4 minutes until sizzling hot. Throw 1/4 cup of hot pepper flakes (it should sizzle and smell delicious)
  4. Drizzle preferred oil in pan. Put garlic, onion, and carrots in the oil. Let it cook until browned, once cooked take it out out and put in a bowl
  5. Cook the mushroom and bokchoy in the same pan until it’s fully cooked and put in the same bowl as the garlic, onion, carrot
  6. Put the defrosted noodles in the pan, mix the veggies, and the meat. Mix throughly while let the noodles heat up
  7. Pour the sauce in, and mix throughly. Add salt, pepper, sesame oil, & Jen’s spicy hot oil to your taste
  8. Put the noodles in a serving bowl, sprinkle cilantro/green onion for visual orgasm and if you like some heat put Shichimi Togarashi powder or more Jen’s spicy hot oil
