Making Veggie Noodles
- Remove noodles from packaging and add to a bowl. Pour hot water on it, mix well and drain immediately. This can be done for frozen or shelf stable fresh noodles. If using dried noodles, cook according to package instructions.
- In a wok, on high heat add the oil. Once it heats up, add the ginger, garlic and the onions.
- Mix well and add the vegetables ( in the order it takes time to cook). Start with the hardy ones like bell peppers, then the mushrooms, and finally the snow peas.
- If using broccoli, add them first, mix well on high heat and then the other vegetables.
- Reduce the flame a bit, and add 1 tbsp water. Close the wok and let is 'steam' for 2 minutes. We want the vegetables to be crunchy!
- Now, add the sauce ( it should be about 1/2 cup in volume), and then the noodles along with the tofu.
- It is easiest to use chopsticks to stir this, but tongs work too. Mix well and ensure the sauce coats all the noods
- Garnish with sesame seeds, spring onions and serve with a chilli oil
