Instructions
Preparing the noodles
- Remove the noodles from the package and make two slits with a knife in each package.
- Then, microwave both for 30 seconds
- Remove the noodles from the bag and place them in a colander and rinse with water, carefully pulling the noodles apart with your hands.
- Set aside.
Vegetables and Sauce
- Whisk all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Using a Wok or large deep skillet with thick edges, saute the garlic and onion until the onion is translucent.
- Next, add the mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms are browned
- Add protein choice, and saute until cooked through or skip this step if not using protein.
- Add the drained noodles and toss for 1 minute, then pour in the sauce, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Serve with Thai basil as a garnish.
Notes
If adding other vegetables, cook the vegetables in order of density. For instance, add red bell pepper or broccoli after the mushrooms and cook for a few minutes before adding the noodles. Other vegetables, like bok choy, should be added last because it cooks quickly.
If using tofu, I suggest cooking it first by baking, grilling or air-frying.
