Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dry noodles (e.g., egg noodles, ramen, or lo mein)
- 4 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 medium carrot, julienned or grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or neutral cooking oil)
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Begin by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the vegetables to combine evenly.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to ensure the sauce coats the noodles and vegetables evenly.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasonings to taste.
Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to crisp slightly in spots.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve warm as a main course or side dish. Enjoy!
