Ingredients

8 oz thick noodles
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup sliced bell peppers
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Large pot
Skillet or wok
Wooden spoon
Colander

Method

Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add your thick noodles and cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, and broccoli. Cook until the veggies are vibrant and slightly softened.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the veggies. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to revive the texture.

Try swapping thick rice noodles for wheat noodles for a gluten-free option. Alternatively, add tofu or chicken for extra protein.

For the best texture, keep the noodles separate from the sauce until ready to serve. This prevents sogginess and maintains the perfect balance of flavors.
