Description
A delicious recipe for stir fry noodles with a savory oyster sauce mix, fresh scallions, and optional fried eggs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon fish sauce
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 8 ounces stir fry egg noodles (or use yakisoba or ramen noodles)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 scallions (white and green parts separated and cut in 2-inch sections)
- 4 garlic cloves (finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons))
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 9 ounces bean sprouts
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
- toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 large eggs (optional (see Notes))
Instructions
- In a small dish, whisk together the oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, dark and light soy sauce, fish sauce, and the white pepper. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions just until tender. Rinse under cold water and drain well. Set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing well to coat, and cook for 2 minutes. Taste and add 1–2 tablespoons of water if you prefer a less bold flavor.
- Add the bean sprouts and the green parts of the scallions and cook just until the scallions are wilted, about 1 or 2 minutes.
- To serve, divide equal portions in four serving bowls and garnish each serving with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and finely sliced scallions. Optional: Top each serving with a fried egg. (see Notes)
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding more sesame oil or soy sauce to taste.
- The fried eggs on top add protein and richness, but they are optional.
