Starting with tender rice noodles and a savory stir-fry sauce, you can use the suggested ingredients, such as broccoli, snow peas, carrots, mushrooms, red pepper, and green onion.

Alternatively, you can easily customize and add whatever you have available. You can also make this dish gluten-free or heartier by adding a protein. These Vegetable Stir-Fry Noodles are the perfect “kitchen sink” meal to use up those “almost empty” packages of frozen veggies.

This recipe has three simple parts, which you can alter to suit your preference. For example, add more or substitute veggies, make the sauce sweeter, add some heat, or double the sauce for an even saucier result. See below for a few alternatives and ways to make it your own.

For the noodles, I enjoy the texture of rice noodles, but you can substitute ramen noodles, udon noodles, soba noodles, or egg noodles.
For the stir-fry sauce, you’ll need light soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, black pepper, sea salt, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Low-sodium soy sauce keeps the stir fry from being too salty, and the honey balances the flavors, adding a hint of sweetness.
For the veggies, you’ll cook broccoli, snow peas, carrots, mushrooms, red pepper, and green onion with minced garlic. Other veggie options include spinach, edamame, onion, eggplant, cabbage, baby corn, bok choy, snap peas, bean sprouts, green beans, or asparagus.

Prepare the noodles. Boil the rice noodles according to cooking instructions, drain, and set to the side.

Cook the vegetables. Heat a wok (paid link) to medium heat and add 4 tbsp olive oil. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, snow peas, and red peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Add the noodles. Add the cooked noodles to the wok (paid link). Toss.

To make the sauce, whisk (paid link) together the honey, sesame oil, and soy sauce in a small bowl.

Add the sauce, toss, and serve. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the noodles. Add the black pepper, sea salt, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Toss all ingredients and serve.

Tips & Tricks

Want a sweeter stir-fry sauce? Add a tablespoon of hoisin sauce and see how you like it. It will add a sweet and tangy component to the sauce. Also, swapping dark soy sauce for light soy sauce will add a dark color to the sauce and sweeten its flavors.
Like some heat? Sriracha can be added to give your sauce some kick!
Add a protein like chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu to your lighter stir fry to make it a heartier meal.
Other topping suggestions? Finish off your dish with a sprinkle of roasted cashews or peanuts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat the leftovers on the stove or in the microwave.

This is the perfect weeknight, no-fuss meal. The noodles soak up all the savory sauce, and the vegetables share in the celebration. This is one dish that frequently appears because it is simple, straightforward, and always good!
