Easy Chinese Style Noodles

An easy, improvised recipe for those days when you’re craving Chinese food, …or at least something that resembles it.

Ingredients:

• 1 packet of instant noodles, flavor of your choice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil
• ½ large onion, cut into strips
• ½ green bell pepper, cut into strips
• ½ red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of soy sauce (or use the amount that is of your taste)
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon of brown sugar

Directions:

1. Cook the noodles into water until it is “al dente”. Then remove the water, leaving only an amount equivalent to about 4 tbsp. Add half of the seasoning that comes with the noodles, mix and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, add olive oil (or sesame oil) and the onions. Saute a bit.
3. Add the bell peppers and saute everything enough to not be so soft.
4. Add soy sauce and mix.
5. Lower the heat, add the ginger and brown sugar. Mix all together.
6. Add the noodles and mix gently.
7. Taste to see if seasoning is good. If it needs more, add the rest of the seasoning that came with the noodles.
8. Serve hot.

Total Time / Yield:

• 15-20 minutes / 1-2 servings
