Fried vegetarian soya noodles
Published by Foong at 3:35 am under Asian Food, Recipes |
Every once in a while, we’ll get really tired of eating rice, rice and more rice each day so sometimes, I’d like to cook noodles for a change. Even my son loves noodles. I usually like to buy organic noodles, especially when there are so many different types of healthy, wholesome noodles to choose from.
Recently, I bought a packet of soya noodles. So, I decided to give it a try in a basic and easy stir-fried noodles style.
This is the soya noodles I bought
It’s soya mixed with wheat. And this is what it looks like:
Here’s the recipe for:
Fried Vegetarian Soya Noodles
Fried vegetarian soya noodles
Ingredients
Mushrooms, carrots and green leafy vegetables
5 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
5 fresh brown mushrooms, sliced
1 large carrot, sliced
1 cup any type of green leafy vegetables (siew pak choy, choy sam, kale), washed and roughly chopped
2 pcs of the noodles (as you can see in the picture, the noodles are shaped in one piece by piece and there are two in the picture)
water
salt
2 tbsp diced garlic
3 tbsp mushroom sauce
2 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp dark soya sauce
Instructions
1. Boil a pan of water, add a dash of salt, then put in the noodles.
2. Let the noodles boil for a few minutes until softened and then remove and place on a plate.
3. Heat up the wok with some cooking oil (about 2 tbsp), then sautee the garlic till fragrant.
4. Add in the mushrooms and carrots, then stir fry for a few minutes over medium heat
5. Add in the green leafy vegetables and stir fry for a minute or so
6. Add in the noodles and continue stir frying over medium heat
7. Finally, add in the sauces and some water (about half cup to one cup)
The reason you need to add water is because this type of noodles dry up pretty fast and it absorbs water pretty fast. So, adding water will not make it soggy but moisten it so that it won’t be too dry.
8. Continue stir frying it for several more minutes and then remove from heat and serve immediately.
Here it is, fried vegetarian soya noodles
As for you meat lovers out there, don’t worry.
You can also add some meat to this dish:
Just add some homemade char siew or roast pork to it
You can find the roast pork recipe here. I hope you try out this fried vegetarian soya noodles (or any other noodles you have on hand) recipe and tell me how it turned out. Feel free to tweak it to your liking as stir fried noodles are pretty free form and you can add anything you want.

This is very healthy indeed. I tried cooking this noodle in many versions and all of them tasted great. The best is still the stir fry with chicken slices, prawns, beansprouts and some pounded fried flounder. You could try this some day
