Stir‐Fried Chinese Noodles with Vegetables Recipe

You can make Chinese‐style stir‐fried noodles with dried wheat or rice noodles, or with fresh egg noodles. And this recipe can be made with virtually any green vegetable. For example, I've used asparagus; substitute at will, making sure the vegetable is cut into bite‐sized pieces and cooked until tender before proceeding. If you'd like to use sautéed rather than parboiled vegetables, see the second variation, below. You can also combine these noodles with almost any stir‐fried dish.

Ingredients

1
pound of
Asparagus, more or less, no thicker than a pencil

1
pound of
Chinese wheat noodles of spaghetti like thickness

3
tablespoons of
Peanut (preferred) or other oil

1
tablespoon of
Peeled and minced fresh ginger

1/2
cup of
Chicken or vegetable stock or reserved cooking water

1
tablespoon of
Soy sauce

1/4
cup of
Minced scallion or chives

1
tablespoon of
Dark sesame oil (optional)

Preparation Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Meanwhile, break the bottoms of the asparagus (they usually snap right at the point there the stalk is tender enough to eat); cut them into 1‐to 2‐inch lengths. When the pot of water is boiling, blanch the asparagus just until they begin to become tender, 1 to 3 minutes depending on their thickness. Remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and quickly plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.

Using the same water, cook the noodles, stirring occasionally and beginning to taste after 4 or 5 minutes (less time if you're using fresh noodles). When they are just tender, drain thoroughly, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid if you do not have any stock. Toss with a tablespoon of the oil (a little more if you are not proceeding with the recipe right away), and set aside.

Just before you are ready to eat, heat a large skillet or wok (preferably non‐stick) over medium‐high heat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add the remaining oil, then the garlic
