Notes
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions Note: I included my favorite vegetable varieties in this recipe. You can substitute your favorites. Some suggestions include: zucchini, baby corn, fresh bean sprouts, water chestnuts, snap peas, etc.
Noodles: I use these stir fry noodles. I use the both packs which is a total of 14 oz of noodles. They are already cooked so you just add them to the veggies and sauce straight from the package. Alternatively, you can cook 4oz dry ramen noodles, or 4 oz Asian noodles like udon, lo mein, etc. according to the package instructions. Then drain and do not rinse, and use in this recipe.
Minced Garlic. freshly minced or jarred (my preference) garlic both work well.
Onion. I prefer a sweet, white onion. Red, yellow, and green onions taste great in this recipe.
Bell Peppers. choose your favorite variety - red, green, orange, yellow - or a combination.
Carrots. I prefer whole carrots chopped finely for the best taste. You can purchase shredded carrots to cut out the chopping step (which is time consuming).
Soy Sauce. regular or low sodium soy sauce both work great. Or use coconut aminos for a soy-free version.
Ground Ginger. Fresh minced ginger can be used in place of ground.
Honey. brown sugar is an easy substitute for honey.
StoreStore leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
