  • 8 oz dry egg noodles (or fresh)

  • 2 carrots, sliced

  • 1/4 yellow onion, sliced

  • 3 cups cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1/4 of a large cabbage)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 bunch green onions, green parts only, sliced

Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (or white sugar)

  • 1 tbsp water

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

  • 1/4 tsp white pepper

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions

  1. Prep Veggies: Slice onion, carrots, cabbage, garlic, and green onions. Set aside.

  2. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper until smooth.

  3. Cook Noodles: Boil egg noodles for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

  4. Stir-Fry Veggies: Heat a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, carrots, and onion for 2 minutes. Add cabbage and cook another 2 minutes.

  5. Combine: Toss in cooked noodles, sauce, and green onions. Stir for 1 minute until noodles are fully coated and heated through.

  6. Serve: Plate immediately and enjoy

Notes

  • Vegetable Swap: Bell peppers, mushrooms, or snap peas work great for variety.

  • Protein Add-On: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier meal.

  • Noodle Tip: Rinsing under cold water prevents noodles from sticking and keeps them tender.
