Make restaurant-quality Asian stir fry noodles fast. This recipe delivers savory soy sauce noodles with garlic and ginger flavor, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner using pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried egg noodles or lo mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or sliced carrots (optional vegetables)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain them well and set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Add your chosen vegetables, like cabbage or carrots, to the wok. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they soften slightly but retain some crunch.
  5. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the wok.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar to create the sauce.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything quickly and continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through. This is your pan fried noodles step.
  8. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve your easy dinner noodles immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, add cooked shrimp, sliced chicken, or tofu during step 3 when you add the aromatics.
  • If you prefer a less chewy texture, rinse the cooked noodles briefly under cool water after draining to stop the cooking process before stir frying.
  • Use yakisoba noodles if you want a texture closer to Shanghai noodles recipe style.
