Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) Chinese noodles

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 cup small broccoli florets

  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts

  • 8 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Directions

  • Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente (tender), 10-12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the noodles thoroughly. Set aside.

  • In a large stockpot or frying pan, heat the oils over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant.
