Shanghai Noodles

Easy, quick and incredibly delicious, these Chinese fried noodles are street food at its best! Chinese fried noodles feature thinly sliced pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, green onions, and a sauce that will make your mouth water! Quick and easy to make, they’re perfect for a weeknight meal! Shanghai, China. The most populated city in the world. Bustling with tourists, it is also a major port town, financial hub, business and commerce center, and cultural hotspot. Amidst the ever-changing dynamics of this global city, one thing remains constant: Noodles are the way of life. Plump, handmade noodles are the preference and have been for centuries. Watching Chinese noodle-makers at work in food stalls along the streets of Shanghai, pulling dough and chopping with cleavers at lightening speed is truly awe-inspiring. And whatever variations of noodles are served, the most popular remain ones based on rich brown sauces such as the one featured in this authentic recipe. Not encumbered with a lot of other ingredients, the central feature of this dish is, of course, the noodles. Simple, quick, and satisfying…just what a large city dweller needs.

Singapore Noodles

It's not entirely clear where Singapore noodles—the stir-fried curried rice noodles with shrimp, pork, and vegetables—come from, though it's unlikely Singapore is the source. Regardless, they're a stir-fry classic and are easy to make at home. Here's what you need to know, from how to choose the right rice noodles to how to make the stir-fry work on a home burner.

Veg Hakka Noodles

Veg Hakka Noodles is an Indo-Chinese preparation that is made by tossing boiled noodles and stir-fried vegetables in Chinese sauces. The vegetables give it an enjoyable crunchy texture and the Soy and Chilli sauces give it a distinctive flavor. This dish is very popular across all of India and is often served in Indian Restaurants or in parties. Spicy variations of this are often sold by street vendors as chowmein. Veg Hakka Noodles are also quite healthy since they are loaded with veggies and very little oil goes into their preparation. I have added onions, colored Bell Peppers (Capsicum), Cabbage, Carrots and Spring Onions to this dish. You can make them even healthier by using whole wheat noodles.

Asian Vegetable Stir-Fry Noodles

A simple, versatile Asian noodle dish with finely diced vegetables and a sweet and savory sauce. There’s just something special about filling the family table. It fills my mama heart when all of my kids and husband are gathered around the table – when all six of us are together. It is as if all is right in the world when we are at home altogether.

Spicy-Sweet Sambal Pork Noodles

These weeknight noodles are inspired by the silky richness of meaty tomato sauce and the fiery, tangy-sweet flavors of pad kee mao (a.k.a. drunken noodles). It's full-on explosive flavor in under an hour. Made it for dinner tonight, expecting to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Cleaned the whole pot! I doubled the sugar and used brown sugar. I also used yakisoba noodles I had in the pantry. This is good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, hangover- whatever!

Garlic Sesame Noodles

Easy peasy take-out style sesame noodles for those busy weeknights! It’s a simple, quick 30-min meal the whole family will LOVE! Garlic Sesame Noodles with Beef, made completely from scratch using fresh, quality ingredients – and something I needed to faceplant myself into. But really, I needed to make this noodle dish for myself. I tried to stick to the original recipe as much as possible, with garlic noodles, flank steak (LEAN CUISINE chefs used prime rib beef), carrots, bell peppers, and garlic with a soy garlic sauce.

Ramen Noodle Stir Fry

This Ramen Noodle Stir Fry with beef, broccoli, and mushrooms only takes 20 minutes to make. It has delicious Korean flavors, and is perfect for a weeknight dinner! This is one of those “dangerous” meals where I have the hardest time practicing portion control, but I can’t even be mad about it because it’s so delicious. Such is often the case when I make Asian noodles. I fill up my bowl for dinner at the table, and then when I go to put the leftovers away, I sneak a few more bites at the counter, despite promising myself I must sit at the table when I eat. It’s bad. But so good. While this Korean Beef Noodle Stir Fry isn’t a traditional Korean dish, it has some of my favorite Korean flavors from my childhood. Plus, there are ramen noodles involved. I’m a sucker for those. You’re weary of the idea of ramen, don’t worry, we’re just using the noodles, and not the packets of weird ingredients that they sometimes come with. You can actually purchase ramen noodles by themselves, without any additional ingredients. We’ll add our own fresh flavor!

Easy Lo Mein

Lo Mein is a fantastic Chinese takeout option if you’re looking for something a bit thicker than the traditional Chow Mein. The easiest lo mein you will ever make in 15 minutes from start to finish. It is so much quicker, tastier and healthier than take-out! A traditional chow mein has noodles that are boiled, then stir-fried until having a slightly crisped exterior while lo mein is boiled then tossed in a sauce without cooking the noodles an additional amount. The noodles are roughly the same, both egg noodles, but lo mein noodles are normally thicker and chewier.
