Vegetarian Recipe: Stir Fry Noodles with Cabbage

Stir fried noodles is one of the staple food in Asian 

countries.

Chow Mien is the direct word from Chinese which 

means Fried Noodles.

 

My favorite version of noodles will be the homemade 

Stir Fried Noodles with Cabbage that was created by 

my mother-in-law.

 

I particular love the fresh egg noodles that she used 

instead of the regular yellow noodles which are oily 

and high in cholesterol.

 

Fresh egg noodles are ideal of stir fried 

noodles-dry version, soup noodles and stir fried 

noodles-wet version.

 

It is impossible to catch a sight of fresh egg noodles in 

the market because it is not popular and a little bit 

higher in price compare to the regular yellow noodles.

 

Most vendors sell dried egg noodles sold in packets 

that resembles instant noodles.

 

 It comes in 8-10 pieces of dried egg noodles

 per packet which you could whip up at least 4 plates 

of delicious noodles with your favorite vegetables or

 meats.

 

My mother-in-law prefer to add in cabbage into

 noodles because it is cheaper.

 A whole head of cabbage could last her 1 month of 

cooking different cabbage recipes!

 

Today, I managed to take a glimpse how my 

mother-in-law cooked her popular Stir Fried 

Noodles with Cabbage.

 

Here is the recipe …

 

Ingredients:

  • A packet of fresh egg noodles ( 300g)
  • 4 leaves of cabbage cut into bite size pieces
  • 5 French Beans, cut in diagonal lengths
  • 1 small carrot, cut into match sticks
  • 1 clove garlic-chopped
  • 1 medium onion-chopped
  • 150g oyster mushrooms- cut into strips
  • 250ml vegetable stock or water

 

Seasoning

  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce ( black sauce)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce ( light soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp mirin ( cooking sake) 
  • 1tp ginger juice
  •  Salt and pepper to taste

 

Method of cooking

Heat up wok with 2 tbsp of canola or sunflower oil.

Saute garlic and onion until fragrant.

 

 

Briefly wash the egg noodles in a strainer before cooking.Add in fresh egg noodles and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.

 

Add in a little vegetable stock if the noodles begin to

stick to the wok.

 

Add in the cabbages, carrots, french beans , stir fry for

 about 10 minutes to soften them.

 

Add in the oyster mushroom

 

Pour in the remainder vegetable stock and add in all 

the seasoning together.

 

Fry the egg noodles, tossing high with the spatula in 

order to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other.

 

Lastly, sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serve immediately

 

If nobody is hungry yet ( you cooked too early), transfer

 the Stir Fried Egg Noodles with Cabbage into the rice 

cooker and press Keep Warm.

 

Tips:

If you couldnt find mirin, replace it with Vegetarian 

Sauce ( Oyster sauce the vegetarian type- Lee Kum Kee 

brand )

 

If you dont like cabbage, replace it with any leafy 

vegetables such as mustard green, kale, spinach of

 salad leaves.

 

If you dont like French Beans, simply dont add it in.

 

If you cant find fresh egg noodles, buy dried egg 

noodles.

Soak 4 pieces of dried egg noodles ( for 4 person ) in 

water.

Then, bring a soup pot of water to boil.

Toss in the egg noodles, use a chop stick to loosen them.

When the noodles had turned soft alike instant noodles, turn off heat.

Strain the noodles in a strainer and set aside.

 

Enjoy my mother-in-law Chow Mien for a change!

    • This sounds delicious. I love chow mien and have not had it in a while. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    • I always love noodles as my breakfast. It is easy to cook and always ready because it can be stored for a long time so long as it is not yet expired.

      Your recipe appears to be easy and delicious.
