Asian-Style Noodles

Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole-wheat spaghetti or linguine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 orange bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large head of broccoli, stalks removed and thinly sliced, 1/2 the florets cut into small pieces (remaining florets set aside for future use)
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red cabbage, roughly shredded
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional, to taste
  • 2 eggs, scrambled, optional

Directions

  1. Cook the noodles per the package instructions to al dente (just done) because they will cook again in the vegetables.
  2. Remove the noodles and quickly rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss in 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.
  3. In a grill pan or large sauté pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the peppers.
  4. Give them 5 minutes to sauté and add the garlic.
  5. Next add the sliced broccoli stalks and florets, carrots and red cabbage, combining everything together.
  6. Add soy sauce, black pepper and sesame seeds to taste.
  7. If adding the eggs, push the noodles to the side of the pan and add the eggs. Scramble lightly and add a little more oil if needed.
  8. Mix together and serve.

Note: This dish tastes great at room temperature as well.
