Well, guess what? We are here to make your life easier, healthier and tastier. Say NO to unhealthy with this quick recipe! All you need is 15 minutes for a perfect mix of delicious and healthy!
Ingredients
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon Rinsun sunflower oil
pinch of black pepper
3 dried chilies (choose whichever color)
2 – 3 packets of Numi Chicken flavored noodles
2 cups shredded spinach/cabbage
2 carrots
1 whole bell pepper, stem and seeds discarded and thinly sliced (you can have a mix of different colors)
4-5 mushrooms, sliced (baby bella, shiitake, button, etc.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3–4 green onions, chopped into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
- To Prepare Noodles:
Place the noodles into a pot of boiling water and cook just until broken up. DO NOT cook the noodles fully at this point or they will not hold up in the stir-fry. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- To Make Sauce:
In a small bowl combine tamari/soy sauce, honey, sunflower oil, chilies and pepper. Stir and set aside. (If you add extra veggies/noodles or like it really saucy, I recommend doubling the sauce!)
- For Stir-Fry:
Place a large frying on the stove over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, along with the spinach, carrots, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté vegetables for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Add green onions and sauté for 1 more minute.
Add drained noodles and quickly stir-fry on high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and evenly coats the noodles, adding the remaining sauce as needed. Serve immediately.
