Steps

You’ll need: large pot, wok or large skillet, tongs.

  1. Cook the noodles as the package says, until just tender. Drain, rinse briefly with cold water so they don’t stick, and toss with a few drops of the sesame oil. Don’t cut or break them.
  2. Stir the sauce ingredients together.
  3. Heat the oil in the wok over high heat. Stir-fry the mushrooms 3 minutes, then the cabbage and carrot 2 minutes, then the garlic, ginger and green onions 30 seconds.
  4. Add the noodles and sauce and toss with tongs, lifting high, until hot and evenly coated, 2 minutes. Serve the long strands piled on a platter.
