This vegetarian noodle stir fry has all things good such as ginger, garlic, cabbage, peppers and tofu.
We love stir-fry noodles at Asian restaurants, but it’s nice once in a while to have a homemade version. The best part of this homemade noodle stir fry is that it’s easier to make than one might think.
About the recipe
I like to buy fresh ramen noodles from the produce isle, these are fresh tasting, soft and just need microwaving for a minute or two before adding them to the veggies. Then saute cabbage with ginger and garlic, season with soy sauce and brown sugar and you get the most delicious stir fry noodles that are healthy and delicious!
