Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12 ounces wheat noodles, egg noodles, spaghetti, linguini (or sub GF rice noodles)
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce (or GF hoisin sauce)- I prefer organic hoisin sauce without high frutose corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon black vinegar (or rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
- 3 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine (or skip it)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten-free liquid aminos)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 medium garlic cloves, chopped (feel free to use less!)
- Veggies: 1-2 bunches broccolini- split in half lengthwise, then cut into 2-3 inch pieces (or sub any combo of mushrooms, bok choy, matchstick carrots, bell pepper, cabbage or other quick cooking veggies)
- 6 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced at a diagonal
- 4 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cook Noodles. Cook noodles according to package directions, in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Make the stir-fry sauce. In a small bowl, whisk hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and Chinese cooking wine; set aside.
- Stir fry. Heat the wok on medium-high heat. Add olive oil and broccolini (or other vegetables), and stir-fry until tender-crisp. Scoot it over, add garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir fry until nice and fragrant.
- Combine. Add the hoisin sauce and the noodles, and toss. Continue cooking until the noodles start to crisp and get sticky in the pan- 1-2 minutes.
- Taste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve. Divide among bowls, then top with sesame seeds and the green parts of the green onions.
Notes
Leftovers will keep up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove top (add a splash of water if needed) or in the microwave.
