Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 200g ho fun noodles
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing mushrooms and bell peppers into thin, uniform strips. Mince garlic cloves finely and chop green onions.
- If ho fun noodles are refrigerated or packaged, gently separate the noodle sheets and let them come to room temperature. Carefully unroll and set aside.
- Heat a large wok or wide skillet over high heat. Add sesame oil and swirl to coat the cooking surface.
- Add minced garlic and stir-fry quickly for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
- Add sliced mushrooms and bell peppers to the wok. Stir-fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes until vegetables start to soften and develop slight caramelization.
- Gently add ho fun noodles to the wok, using chopsticks or a spatula to carefully separate and distribute them evenly.
- Pour soy sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss and fold ingredients together with a gentle turning motion to prevent breaking the delicate noodles.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue stir-frying for an additional 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and slightly crispy at edges.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the blend of soft noodles, savory mushrooms, and aromatic vegetables.
Tips
- Noodle Handling: Ho fun noodles are delicate, so handle them gently to prevent breaking. Allow them to come to room temperature before cooking for the best texture.
- High Heat is Key: Use a high-heat cooking method to achieve that authentic wok-hei flavor and prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
- Prep in Advance: Slice all your vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a professional-looking dish.
- Don't Overcrowd the Wok: Cook in batches if necessary to maintain high heat and prevent steaming instead of stir-frying.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use the freshest mushrooms and vegetables you can find for the most vibrant flavor and texture.
- Sesame Oil Tip: Add sesame oil at the end of cooking to preserve its delicate, nutty flavor and aroma.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the perfect balance of textures – crispy edges and soft noodles.
