Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz dried egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup sliced carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Pinch of white pepper
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together quickly for 2 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce and develop slightly crispy edges.
