Stir-Fried Noodles with Soy Sauce () For 2-3 servings

Ingredients:
lb fresh Chinese egg noodles (the thin ones are preferred)
6 oz mung bean sprouts
4 oz Chinese yellow chives (can be substituted with regular chive)
2 scallions
1.5 tbsp Soy sauce + 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp cooking wine
2 tsp sugar
tsp sesame oil
toasted sesame seeds
salt to taste
Instructions:
1. Rinse the bean sprouts, yellow chive, and scallion in cold water. Cut the yellow chives and
scallion into 2 inch long segments. Separate out the white parts of scallion and cut again into 1
inch long.
2. Blanched the egg noodles in boiling water for about 20 seconds. If you use the dried noodles
extend the time until the noodles are loose but still hard. Be generous with the amount of the
water to avoid noodles getting stuck together. Cool the noodles in cold water. Drain off the water
on a mesh drainer.
3. To make the stir-fry sauce, combine the soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, and sesame oil in a
bowl. Stir to mix well.
4. Heat up wok, grease the wok with 3 tbsp of cooking oil. Add the white parts of scallions and
cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add noodles and turn up the heat to high.
5. Rigorously stir fry the noodles for about 1 minute. Mix in the bean sprouts and the yellow
chives. Slowly add the pre-mixed sauce while constantly stir the noodles. Fry for another 1
minute when the bean sprouts are just about to wilt (overcooking will result wilted bean sprouts
which is saggy). Add salt if needed. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and plate the noodles.

tips:
1. Add some Sriracha sauce if you love the noodles spicy.
2. If you have any leftover roasted chicken meat, you can also add to the noodles to make a
chicken stir-fried noodles aka chicken lo mien:)

This dish looks incredibly easy to makeexcept for finding the yellow chives!
Whats the traditional way that this noodle dish is eaten in China? Is it just a snack,
or is this something people eat as part of dinner as well?

Hi Matt,
Thanks for stopping by.
Traditionally the plain fried noodles are served as a snack, or breakfast, or a quick
bite. However youll also find this dish on the dinner menu but with loads of seafood
or meat on top.
By the way, I like your website about matcha a lot.
