Stir-Fried Noodles with Shiitakes and Veggies
This vibrant stir-fry features shiitake mushrooms, chewy noodles, and colorful veggies in a glossy hoisin-garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mushroom or vegetable broth, plus more, if needed
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 12 ounces dry yakisoba or ramen noodles
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, wiped clean, tough ends trimmed and tops sliced
- 3–4 cups mixed vegetables, such as shredded cabbage, sliced red bell pepper, broccoli, carrots and/or snow peas
- 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
- Chili crisp and/or toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together broth, soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger and vinegar; set sauce aside.
- Cook noodles according to package directions, draining 1 to 2 minutes before fully cooked and still a little firm.
- In a wok, 12-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high. Add mushrooms and vegetables; cook, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in noodles, prepared sauce and green onions, gently tossing with tongs to combine. If it seems too dry, toss in another splash of broth or water. Cook until sauce nicely coats noodles, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Divide mixture into bowls and garnish with green onions, chili crisp and sesame seeds before serving.
