Ingredients

  • 2 shallots sliced

  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 green pepper
  • for the sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 TBS sesame oil
  • 1 tsp shaoxing wine or dry sherry
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp knorr vegetable powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • garnish: sesame seeds bean sprouts

Instructions

  • 1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions. Should be about 2-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water.
  • 2. Combine the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Heat a large pan or wok over high heat. Add 1 TBS of oil, along with the shallots, onions, and garlic. Cook stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • 4. Add 1 TBS of oil to the pan and cook the noodles. Start by slowly adding the noodles making sure not to overcrowd the pan as they won’t crisp evenly. Do this in batches if needed. Toss the noodles in the oil to evenly coat and cook for 3 minutes until they become a golden colour and crispy. Let the noodles sit without touching to crisp.
  • 5. Stir in the sauce, tossing the noodles to combine. Add the snap peas and cooked veggies tossing until the sauce is fully absorbed.
  • 6. Serve with bean sprouts, and top with green scallions, and sesame seeds.
