Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz curly noodles (instant ramen or similar)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for spice)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the curly noodles according to the package instructions (without seasoning packets, if included). Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha (if using), and water to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
Add the cooked curly noodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine everything thoroughly with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove from heat, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve hot.
