Make this simple soy sauce pan fried noodles recipe for a fast, savory weeknight dinner. You get authentic takeout flavor using basic pantry staples in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fresh or dried noodles (lo mein or yakisoba style)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., shredded cabbage, sliced carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain them immediately and rinse briefly with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften slightly.
  5. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce and dark soy sauce over the noodles.
  6. Toss everything together quickly and continuously for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and toss once more.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, add 1 cup of cooked, shredded chicken or shrimp during Step 4.
  • If you prefer crispier noodles, let the noodles sit undisturbed in the hot pan for 1 minute before tossing.
  • Use fresh noodles when possible; they absorb the sauce better and reduce cooking time.
