The Story & Tips

Sesame Noodle Stir-Fry is a three-serving dinner with noodles, stir-fry vegetables, frozen edamame, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, honey or brown sugar, and ginger. The sauce is mixed separately, then tossed with the cooked noodles and vegetables in a hot wok for a short final cook.

Cook the noodles first and whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and ginger before turning on the heat. Sauté the vegetables and edamame until tender-crisp, then add the noodles and sauce. Having the sauce ready allows the noodles to be tossed as soon as the vegetables are done.

Serve the stir-fry hot, with sesame seeds if you have them, alongside a simple seasonal side or fresh fruit. Refrigerate leftovers for up to three days and loosen them with a splash of water when reheating. Udon, lo mein, or spaghetti can be used for the noodles.
