Ingredients

• 12 ounces chow mein noodles (or other stir-fry noodles)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (reduced sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 count garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
• 1 cup water or vegetable stock

Directions

Step 1

Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok, creating a well in the center. Add the remaining neutral oil to the well.

Step 6

Add the cooked noodles to the wok, followed by the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together to coat the noodles and vegetables in the sauce.

Step 7

Pour in 1 cup of water or vegetable stock, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the noodles are heated through.

Step 8

Remove from heat. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the dish and toss gently to enhance the flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
