What You’ll Love About Easy Asian Noodles:

I have finally created an Asian section on the blog so you can find all our favorites in one spot. We especially love the Ground Beef Broccoli Ramen, and Asian Lettuce Wraps but they are all worth checking out!

As I get older, especially, I have really enjoyed cooking with more Eastern cuisine ingredients. The savory, salty flavors, umami taste, ginger, soy sauce, I love it all!

What I love about these Easy Asian Noodles is the well balanced flavor. It’s not too strong with garlic or other ingredients that can tend to take over the whole dish. Every ingredient has its place and shines in their own way.

This recipe can serve as a simple side dish with grilled chicken or fish. or make it the main meal and add chicken, shrimp, tofu, or more veggies right in with the noodles.

These noodles are so easy to make, you could whip up a batch over the weekend for simple lunches to have during the weekday. Enjoy them warm or cold, they’re just too good!

Simple Ingredients:

• Noodles- I like to use a thicker style noodle like linguine.
• Bell peppers- Preferably red, yellow, or orange bell pepper.
• Aromatics- Green onions and garlic
• Coleslaw mix- This is a great way to add in additional veggies without having to do extra chopping.
• Sauce- Low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
• Toppings- Honey roasted peanuts, green onion slices, and cilantro.

Notes

Tips:

 

• Rinse cooked noodles. Make sure to rinse the noodles after you’ve cooked them to remove the excess starch. This will make it much easier when you add them to the sauté pan.
• Don’t overcook the noodles. Cook noodles just until al dente in the first step. They will soften a bit more when you add them to the pan with the sauce.

• Meat- Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the noodles for a complete meal. Other toppings- Roasted cashews salted peanuts, or toasted sesame seeds.
