Stir Fried Noodles with Vegetables

I love Stir Fried Noodles with lots of vegetables in it.  Whenever I think of Stir Fried Noodles, it just reminds me of this Chinese fast food restaurant near my home. They make wonderful noodles and fried rice and I just love it. There are many versions of Stir Fried Noodles. My version is a combination of all. When I first tried it I just threw in some sauces, pepper flakes, vegetables, oil and noodles and it came out well. Next time I wanted to make sure that I keep track of the right amount of ingredients.  Here you go…

Preparation time: 30 minutes

No. of Servings: 3 to 4

Spice level:  3 out of 5

Ingredients:

Stir fry sauce:

  • Vegetable stock – 2/3 cup
  • Soy Sauce – 4 tbsp
  • Lime juice – 2 tbsp
  • Garlic cloves – 12
  • Sugar – 2 tsp
  • Corn starch – 2 tsp
  • Red chili sauce – 2 tsp

Noodles:

  • Any noodles – 200 g (7 oz)
  • Stir fry sauce – 5 tbsp
  • Carrot – 2
  • Red bell pepper – 1/2
  • Broccoli florets – 1 cup
  • Frozen Cut beans, green peas and corn kernels – 1/2 cup
  • Crushed red peppers – 1 tsp
  • Chili garlic sauce or chili sauce- 1 tbsp (adjust to taste)
  • Vegetable oil – 4 tbsp

Method of Preparation:

Stir-fry sauce:

  1. In a sauce pan, add vegetable stock, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, red chili sauce and bring it to boil at medium heat.
  2. In between, dissolve corn starch in 6 tbsp of water.
  3. Now add chopped garlic and corn starch to the sauce pan.
  4. In a minute or two, the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  5. I adapted the recipe for stir fry sauce from chinesefood.about.com and gave my own touch.

Stir fry noodles:

  1. Cut the vegetables thin and long so that it will be crisp and cooked.
  2. At medium heat add a tbsp of oil in a wok and add carrots and fry till it is half cooked.
  3. Add bell peppers and toss for 3 minutes.
  4. In between, the broccoli florets has to be half cooked either by microwave or add it to hot water. Do not over cook.
  5. If you are not using frozen cut beans, add the beans along with red bell peppers.
  6. Steam the corn kernels and add if you are not using the frozen corn.
  7. Now add beans, peas, corn to the wok and mix gently along with 2 tbsp of stir fry sauce.
  8. Cook noodles according to the instructions and drain them completely.
  9. Do not over cook the noodles because it will become soggy.
  10. Add cooked noodles to the wok and stir well. Break the noodles and mix thoroughly.
  11. Add the rest of the stir fry sauce, chili garlic sauce, crushed red peppers, remaining oil and broccoli.
  12. Keep frying till they are coated with the sauce and noodles are separated. Remove from heat.
