Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut all vegetables into appropriate sizes. After rehydrating the wood ear mushrooms, rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any bitterness.
- 2
Remove the vein from the shrimp and marinate in sake (not included in the ingredient list), and cut the pork, bringing it to room temperature.
- 3
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a well-heated frying pan and set to medium heat. Cook the carrots thoroughly. Avoid high heat to prevent burning.
- 4
Once the carrots are halfway cooked, add 1 more tablespoon of sesame oil and the wood ear mushrooms over medium-high heat. It's tastier if you sauté the wood ear mushrooms well.
- 5
Add the pork over medium heat. If heated too quickly, the protein will harden and become tough. Let it sit on top of the vegetables for a while.
- 6
When the pork changes color, add the bamboo shoots.
- 7
Add the napa cabbage.
- 8
Immediately add the shrimp and bell pepper. Turn the heat to high. Do not stir yet; wait until the napa cabbage reduces slightly...
- 9
Mix the ingredients well with a ladle or similar tool. Add chicken bouillon or Wei-Pa at this point.
- 10
Season with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and wine. If you prefer sweetness, add mirin.
- 11
Adjust the thickness of the cornstarch mixture to your liking. I prefer a slightly thinner sauce. Add a few drops of sesame oil.
- 12
Add the mixture from step 11. If the flavor is lacking, adjust with more oyster sauce and soy sauce.
- 13
Keep the heat high, but if the shrimp aren't cooked through, don't rush; simmer gently over low heat.
- 14
For the stir-fried noodles, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to a hot frying pan and fry thoroughly until crispy.
- 15
Avoid pressing down or adding water! Just keep mixing with chopsticks and fry well for about 5 minutes.

These stir-fried noodles are also delicious served over rice as Chuka Han!

Japanese Style Stir-Fry Noodles Japanese Style Stir-Fry Noodles
Easy, and good. A little different.These were the goals I had. This is a combination of a couple recipes. Probably closer to a Yakisoba dish since the sauce is a type of Yakisoba sauce, but i used some other technics also. I would say any kind of noodle/pasta could be used in this. Just don't cook it all the way initially since it will get some extra time in the sauce. I used chicken thighs here, but chicken breasts would work also. Fo Fa -

Stir-fry Noodle Soup Stir-fry Noodle Soup
In the style of Shandong, and taken with liberties from Martin Yan, this soup has a seriously savory body that invites you to eat everything broth and all. It starts with a stir fry of pork, mushrooms, and veggies, followed by an Asian stock, which poaches eggs. The soup is labeled over noodles. Surprisingly hearty yet light. Lance Wilson -

Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles Thai-Style Stir-Fried Udon Noodles
I made some stir fried udon when I was visiting friends in Bangkok. They were out of soy sauce so I tried using Thai fish sauce instead. Although people in Bangkok use limes, lemon is a fine substitute.Now I'm very fond of stir fried udon with nam pla.Microwave the udon noodles briefly to warm them up, and untangle them in advance. If you are using frozen noodles, rinse them in water to get rid of any surface stickiness.If you add some fresh coriander, it will taste more like Thai cooking!I recommend adding cherry tomatoes. For 1 serving. Recipe by Wanko mama cookpad.japan -

This is our family recipe! It's healthy with lots of vegetables.If you prefer, use a bit less than 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce instead of soy sauce. You can add whatever leftover vegetables like onions, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, bean sprouts, green peppers. This will be even more delicious with squid or kamaboko. If you cut everything into small pieces, add more sauce and thicken with katakuriko dissolved in water, you could serve over a bowl or rice or toss with yakisoba noodles.
