This is a quick restaurant style recipe loaded with fresh vegetables that tastes absolutely delicious! Take out that large Chinese wok and let's start cooking...
YOU WILL NEED:
1/2" Fresh Ginger - Chopped Finely
7-8 Flakes Fresh Garlic - Chopped Finely
1 Cup Fresh Sliced Mushrooms
1 Fresh Carrot - Shredded
1 Cup Fresh Cabbage - Shredded
1/2 Fresh Red Bell Pepper - Shredded or Finely Sliced
1/2 Cup Fresh Bean Sprouts
1 Packet Boiled Yaki Soba Noodles (or any thick round Chinese noodles)
4 Sprigs Green Onion (Spring Onion) Green Part and White Part separated - Sliced
2 Tablespoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
White Pepper or Black Pepper - To Taste
1 Teaspoon Chilli Garlic Paste
1 Teaspoon Hoi Sin Sauce
1 Tablespoon Tomato Sauce
2 Tablespoons Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
1/2 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds (Optional)
1/2 Green Chilli Chopped Finely (Optional)
Salt - To Taste (Optional)
METHOD:
1. Add sesame oil to pan. Saute ginger, garlic and the white part of the green onions for two minutes. Add green chillies (optional).
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to pan. Saute for five minutes.
3. Add the red bell peppers, carrots and cabbage to pan. Saute for five minutes.
4. Add the boiled al dente Chinese noodles to pan. Add bean sprouts. Toss and mix well. (Make sure you do not over-boil your noodles).
5. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, salt, white pepper, tomato sauce, hoi sin sauce, chilli garlic paste and vinegar. Add this mixture to the noodles and mix well.
6. Add green onions (green part only) and turn off gas.
7. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top (optional) and serve hot, with a side of Chilli Garlic sauce if desired.
TIPS & TRICKS:
* Make sure your noodles are al dente and not sticky. You may soak the noodles in cold water after boiling, so the noodles stop cooking and are not too soft. They should be firm but fully cooked. The noodle strands should be separate - not clumped together.
* Although this is a simple and heart healthy recipe, you may need to practice it a couple of times before you get it just right.
* Remember, soy sauce is already salty, so be careful with the amount of salt you add.
* Some people like to add "Ajinomoto" to enhance the flavor of foods. We do not recommend this because Ajinomoto contains "MSG" or "Mono Sodium Glutamate" which has been rumored to have minor health consequences. You may Google MSG for more updated information, or read our article on MSG.

This recipe sounds yummy. And healthy!
Going to try this for dinner tonight.
Good suggestion. Not sure which brand of noodles to buy.
Made this for dinner tonight - was really tasty! My noodles were a bit soft so next time will boil them for less time so they are more firm. Will definitely use this recipe again.
Loved this noodle recipe.
Think I also over boiled my noodles! Aside from that, the taste was good. I will definitely use this recipe again - practice makes perfect so hopefully won't over boil my noodles again.
