Ingredients
Scale
8 oz dried egg noodles or ramen noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup sliced carrots
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 green onion, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain them well and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Pour in the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Toss everything together quickly for 2 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onion before serving immediately.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use noodles that are slightly undercooked, as they will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the hot sauce.
You can substitute vegetables based on what you have available, such as bell peppers or snow peas.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a dash of chili garlic sauce with the soy sauce.
