How to Make Five Happiness Fried Noodles

  1. Boil 10 cups of water in a large pot over high heat.
  2. Add 8 ounces of dried noodles to the boiling water and cook until tender or al dente (approximately 5-7 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat a nonstick wok or large pan over high heat.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (1/2 tablespoon for first use, 1/2 tablespoon for later use), swirling to coat the pan evenly.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and pan-fry until golden brown and slightly crispy (approximately 7-10 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Remove the noodles from the wok and set aside.
  7. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add 1 cup of chopped vegetables (e.g., baby corn, zucchini, carrots, etc.) and stir-fry until tender-crisp (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  8. Return the noodles to the wok. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
  9. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  10. Serve immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired.
