Ingredients
Converted amounts are rounded.
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
- Heat a wide, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
- Once the skillet is hot, add 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil and swirl to coat. Pour in the eggs all at once. Lift and tilt the skillet so the eggs form a thin, even layer. Cook without stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, until just set.
- Using a rubber spatula, slide the cooked egg sheet onto a cutting board. Let cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces or strips.
- Return the pan to the heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium. Be careful, as the pan may be hot. Add two-thirds of the green onions (reserve the rest for garnish), garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds, until very fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
- Add the snap peas and bell peppers. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the reserved cooked noodles and egg pieces. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the top. Toss gently to combine everything. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved green onions.
💡 Tips
- Prep all vegetables and ingredients before you start cooking; the stir-fry process moves quickly.
- For a non-stick surface, a well-seasoned wok or non-stick skillet works best for the egg crepe.
- Feel free to substitute other vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bok choy.
