Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 10 oz egg noodles. Cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and bright in color.
- Step 4: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles evenly.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the noodles. Sprinkle 3 sliced green onions on top and gently toss once more before serving.
