Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Cook the noodles Cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package, then drain them and briefly rinse with cold water so they don't stick.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Add finely chopped garlic, sliced carrot, bell pepper and spring onion. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables soften but remain crisp.
  • Add the meat or tofu If using meat or tofu, add it to the vegetables and fry until cooked through. For meat, we recommend cutting it into thin strips so it cooks quickly.
  • Finishing the dish Stir in the cooked noodles, pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Mix and season to taste if necessary. If you want to add an egg, crack it directly into the pan and stir until cooked.

Total preparation time: 15 minutes
