🔥 Instructions

1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the sauce in a small bowl: soy sauce, oyster/hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, garlic, and sriracha (if using).

3. Stir-fry vegetables in a large skillet or wok with a bit of oil over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, until just tender.

4. Add cooked protein (if using) and toss to heat through.

5. Add noodles and sauce to the pan. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1–2 more minutes until well combined and heated through.

6. Top with green onions or sesame seeds. Serve hot!

✅ Tips

• No oyster sauce? Mix a little soy sauce + sugar + a splash of Worcestershire as a sub.

• Want it saucier? Add 2–3 tbsp water or broth while tossing everything together.

• Make it vegetarian: Skip meat and use extra veggies + hoisin sauce instead of oyster.
