A fast and easy homemade recipe featuring egg noodles pan fried with a savory blend of light and dark soy sauce, garlic, and green onions, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Optional: 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or snap peas
  • Optional: ½ cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (3-5 minutes for fresh, 7-9 minutes for dried). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
  4. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  5. If using, add optional veggies and protein. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until veggies are tender but still crisp.
  6. Add the drained noodles to the pan. Spread evenly and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop golden edges. Toss gently and repeat 1-2 more times.
  7. Pour the soy sauce mixture evenly over the noodles. Toss to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce is mostly absorbed.
  8. Turn off heat. Add sesame oil and sliced green onions. Toss gently to combine.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when frying noodles to ensure crispiness. Rinse noodles after boiling to stop cooking and remove excess starch. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning garlic and veggies. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and rice noodles for egg noodles. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or a knob of butter for richness.
