Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz egg noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
- Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1 julienned red bell pepper, and 1 cup snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Step 4: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the noodles.
- Step 5: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the noodles. Toss in 2 sliced green onions and serve hot.
