Ingredients

For the Noodles:

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ onion thinly sliced
  • ½ head of cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3 cups chopped mixed vegetables fresh or frozen
  • 5 green onions sliced
  • 16 oz noodles see notes

For the Sauce

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Add the onion and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes until softened and browned. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring for 4 minutes or until browned and shrinking in volume. Add the frozen vegetables and cook, stirring until warmed through, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Clear a spot in the middle of the pan and add the garlic and green onions. Let sit about 10-15 seconds, then stir around for another 10 seconds. Stir to incorporate into the rest of the dish.
  • Add the noodles and the sauce. The noodles will seem too big for the pan. Use tongs to cook toss them as they cook, mixing them in with the cooked vegetables and they will soften up and mix in after about 4 minutes or so. Allow them to get crispy in places. Serve with more fresh green onions and sriracha sauce if you like.

Notes

  1. Use whatever noodles you prefer.  I use ones that are already cooked and in the frozen section at my local Asian grocery store.  You can also use, linguine, spaghetti, spaghettini, or rice noodles.
