2 Tbs 

 

vegetable oil

 

10 ounces 

 

shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thinly

 

1 small 

 

head Napa cabbage, sliced crosswise into thin shreds

 

1 medium 

 

red bell pepper, cored and sliced thinly

 

1 Tbs 

 

grated fresh ginger

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

¼ cup 

 

low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

 

3 Tbs 

 

soy sauce

 

3 Tbs 

 

oyster flavored sauce

 

9 ounce 

 

package of fresh Chinese egg noodles

 

 

 

salt and ground black pepper

 

1 Tbs 

 

toasted sesame oil

 

4 whole 

 

scallions, sliced thinly

 

 

1

Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in a large pot.

2

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 4 minutes (while mushrooms are browning, measure out and prep other ingredients). Stir in cabbage and bell pepper and cook until cabbage wilts, about 2 minutes.

3

Stir ginger and garlic into vegetables and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, soy sauce, and oyster-flavored sauce and bring to simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.

4

Add egg noodles and 1 Tablespoon salt to boiling water and cook, stirring often, until noodles are slightly underdone, about 2 minutes. Drain noodles, then rinse under cold running water and drain again. Return noodles to pot and toss with sesame oil.

5

Add cabbage mixture to pot, return to medium-high heat, and cook until noodles are heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in scallions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

 

Servings: 4
