Description

 

A quick and flavorful noodle dish packed with colorful vegetables and a savory sauce! Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prepping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) lo mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for vegetarian option)
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the lo mein noodles or spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tbsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant. Stir in broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and snap peas. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey (or sugar).
  4. Combine: Add cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to warm through.
  5. Serve: Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Vegetable swaps: Use mushrooms, bok choy, or zucchini for variety.
  • Protein boost: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier dish.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
