Vegetable Stir-Fried Glass Noodles


Vegetable Stir-Fried Glass Noodles

I had a carving for glass noodles or clear noodles as some people might call it so I made some. Below are the ingredients and instructions. They taste good with hot sauce. Another thing is that you can also use it as a filling for egg rolls. This time I didn’t use them to make egg rolls. I just ate some and saved the rest for later.



Ingredients
About 2 to 3 cups of glass noodles
1 shredded carrot
4 chopped up Chinese cabbage leaves
½ cup of chopped up green bell peppers
½ cup of chopped up yellow bell peppers
1 onion, diced
1 tbsp of garlic
Vegetable oil
Oyster sauce
Soy sauce

Instructions:
  1.   Soak the clear noodles in warm water for about 10 to 15 minutes until they are soft but not too soft. They should still be a little firm. You do not want it to be too soft because when you are stir-frying it will become softer. Transfer the noodles to colander and let some of the moisture drain as you cook the other ingredients.
  2. Add about 1 to 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the skillet. Over medium heat sauté the onions and garlic until you smell their aroma. Then add all the vegetables and cook until tender. Put a lid on  the skillet for 2 minutes if you want the ingredients to cook faster. Once most of the vegetables are to your desired tenderness, add in the glass noodles.
  3.  Stir-fry the ingredients together until well mixed. Add oyster sauce and soy sauce and stir well. I just added about two tbsp of oyster sauce since I prefer my food on the low sodium side. However, feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. Serve hot. I ate mine with hot sauce. Eat and Enjoy!!!
