How to Make Spicy Vegetable Egg Noodles

  1. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot.
  2. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, heat a separate skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the carrots and bell peppers and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and grated ginger.
  6. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing to combine.
  8. If the mixture is too dry, add a little of the reserved cooking liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds (optional) and chopped scallions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
