Notes

👨‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

✅ Step 1: Prep the Noodles

  • If using fresh Hokkien noodles, soak them in warm water for 2–3 minutes to loosen them up.
  • Drain and set aside.

✅ Step 2: Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water.
  • Stir well and set aside.

✅ Step 3: Stir-Fry the Veggies & Protein

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add onion, cabbage, carrots, and your choice of protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu).
  • Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until the veggies are tender and the protein is heated through.

✅ Step 4: Add Noodles & Sauce

  • Add the pre-soaked Hokkien noodles to the wok.
  • Pour the sauce over the top.
  • Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through—about 2–3 minutes.

✅ Step 5: Finish & Garnish

  • Stir-fry for 1 more minute.
  • Serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a squeeze of lime (optional).
