Noodles in sweet soy-garlic sauce with bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. What’s not to like? This 30-minute Asian noodles is easy to customize with whatever veggies (or meat) you have on hand.
If you’re looking for a quick noodle dish, this 30-minute Asian noodles is perfect! It’s packed with flavor from the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy-sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. All these ingredients might be already in your pantry! For the vegetables, I used bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, green onions and spinach, but you can easily substitute with whatever greens you have on hand. I’m thinking broccoli, carrots, and zucchini are all good options.
Here’s how to make this flavorful noodles in 30 minutes: Cook the noodles according to package directions. Do not put salt in your pasta water as the sauce is salty enough from the soy sauce and oyster sauce. While the noodles are boiling, make the soy-garlic sauce by mixing together soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger powder (or grated fresh ginger), oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and pepper in a bowl.
If you wish to add meat like shrimp or chicken to this dish, add about 2 tablespoons of the soy-garlic sauce to the meat, mix, and cook them in a large skillet. Set the meat aside while you cook the vegetables. On the same pan, add oil if necessary, then saute the onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers until tender. Stir in the cooked noodles, the soy-garlic sauce, spinach and the meat (if using) until well combined. It’s best to eat these asian noodles freshly cooked.
Enjoy! 🙂
