Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein and Noodles:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) chow mein noodles
Vegetables:
- 2 1/2 cups (300 grams) sliced green cabbage
- 1 cup (150 grams) thinly sliced onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles by cooking them according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly and set aside, allowing excess water to drip off.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add thinly sliced onions and green cabbage to the hot pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables become slightly softened and translucent.
- Create the flavor base by combining minced garlic, ginger paste, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Transfer cooked noodles into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables.
- Toss and stir the mixture vigorously, ensuring every strand of noodle and vegetable is coated with the savory sauce. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and plate immediately. Serve hot for the most authentic and delicious experience.
Notes
- Swap wheat noodles with rice noodles or gluten-free alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
- Toast sesame seeds or add green onions as a crunchy, flavorful garnish to enhance texture and presentation.
- Boost protein content by incorporating cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu directly into the stir-fry for a more substantial meal.
- Control sodium levels by using low-sodium soy sauce and reducing added salt to make the dish heart-healthier.
