Description
A delightful blend of stir-fried noodles, vegetables, and protein, creating a comforting and flavorful chow mein experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cups assorted vegetables (bok choy, bell peppers, carrots, scallions)
- 1 cup protein (chicken, shrimp, beef, or tofu)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by slicing your chosen protein and vegetables into thin strips. If using egg noodles, cook them according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Heat the Wok: Place your wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Swirl the oil to coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the Protein: Once the oil shimmers, toss in your protein. Stir-fry until it’s cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add another drizzle of oil, then sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the Vegetables: Toss in your vegetables and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked protein and noodles back to the wok. Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring continuously to coat everything evenly.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust with more soy sauce, salt, or pepper. Cook together for an additional minute.
- Serve Hot: Plate your chow mein while piping hot, garnished with scallions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Chop your vegetables and proteins ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. For less oil, consider using an air fryer for veggies.
