Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz dried egg noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender but firm to bite. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp grated ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot and 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper to the wok. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 4: Stir in cooked noodles, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. Toss everything together over medium heat for 2 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
Step 5: Remove from heat and mix in 3 sliced green onions. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
