🥢 Ingredients

8 oz dried noodles (spaghetti or Chinese wheat noodles)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup green onions, chopped
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp Szechuan chili paste or sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tsp sugar
½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
½ cup snow peas, trimmed
Optional: Crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for garnish

🔪 Instructions

1. Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Szechuan chili paste, hoisin sauce, sugar, and broth. Set aside.

3. Sauté the Aromatics

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables

Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

5. Combine & Stir-Fry

Add cooked noodles to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.

6. Serve & Garnish

Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions, and garnish with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
