Veg Noodles Chaumin: A Step-by-Step Guide

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

* 1 package (8 oz) egg noodles

* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

* 1 medium onion, chopped

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, etc.)

* 1/2 cup chopped cabbage

* 1/4 cup soy sauce

* 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup

* 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)

* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

* Salt to taste

* Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles: Boil water in a large pot. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions until tender. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water.

2. Prepare the vegetables: While the noodles are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).

3. Add the vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables and chopped cabbage to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

4. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, tomato ketchup, chili garlic sauce (if using), black pepper, and salt.

5. Combine everything: Add the drained noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles.

6. Garnish and serve: Transfer the chaumin to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.

Tips:

* You can substitute the vegetables for your favorites, like mushrooms, spinach, or green beans.

* For a spicier chaumin, add more chili garlic sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.

* Add a few tablespoons of chopped spring onions or green onions for extra flavor.

* For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of vegetable oil and sesame oil.

* This chaumin is also delicious with a side of steamed rice.
