My everyday Hokkien Noodles recipe. A great sauce. Strips of chicken. Lots of vegetables. 6 minute cook. Dinner in 20 minutes flat!
I know that I’ve repeatedly bleated about how you can throw “any vegetables you want!” into stir fried noodles. But if speed is of the essence, and you want a good amount of vegetables in your dinner, you do actually need to think about what vegetables are quick to chop, quick to cook, won’t make your stir fry watery, and you know you can get at any grocery store.
No pre-cooking required (like broccoli). Doesn’t take 5 minutes to soften (like mushrooms). And not one of those vegetables you can’t always find (like Asian greens).
Scratch all that. Today is about convenience, speed, yet undeniable deliciousness that everybody loves.
