Things you'll need:
-Onions-Mushrooms
-Asparagus
-Baby Sprouts
-Broccoli or Tenderstem Broccoli
-Corn or Baby Corn
-Peppers
-Carrots
-Sesame oil (or your preferred cooking oil)
-BBQ Spice (or your preferred spice -e.g. paprika)
-Black Bean Garlic Stir Fry Sauce (or any sauce you like e.g. teriyaki)
-Noodles (I use the ones that don't require boiling and need 4-5 minutes in the wok)
-A wok, or a large frying pan, non sticky
Ps. You can also add meat, seafood or tofu if you would like to!
TIP ➔ When it comes to quantities and portions, it's all relative to how many people you're cooking for, or how hungry you are! I'd say try to not put that many ingredients that you can't taste or see the noodles any more!
Cooking time!
- Chop chop! Chop your vegetables!
TIP ➔ Try to chop your 'long' vegetables in thin stripes (e.g. asparagus, baby corn, carrots e.t.c.). That way they're cooked faster and they blend really nicely with your noodles, whilst still adding different textures. Plus, the result is so visually pleasing!
- Turn your hob on (avoid the highest settings). Place the wok/frying pan on top and once it starts warming up a bit, put the vegetables that take longer to cook (e.g. asparagus, baby corn, broccoli), or the frozen vegetables -if you're using any- first. If there's no frozen vegetables add a little bit of water. Stir slowly.
- Once these vegetables start being softer, put the rest of the vegetables in the wok and add the oil of your choice. If I'm cooking for myself, I use 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir slowly.
- A couple of minutes later add your spice(s). Stir a bit faster.
- Now that all is blended, time for your noodles! Make sure to break them apart a little bit before putting them in the wok/frying pan.
- Then, finally, we can get saucy! Poor that sauce on top of the noodles and stir stir stir!!!
TIP ➔ A little sauce can go a long way and you can always top it up if you feel you need more, so avoid using too much.
- After you stir for a few minutes and all looks blended and cooked, it's time to turn the hob off and serve the noodles! Let them sit for a few minutes before you start eating them, otherwise they'll be too hot.
