These savory, chewy noodles come together in just 20 minutes for a better-than-takeout dinner[cite: 1, 2]. I love using high heat to get that authentic char on the vegetables just like professional chefs do.

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions until just tender to ensure they have the right chewiness[cite: 6].

Notes

Work quickly with high heat to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy; they should retain a slight crunch for the best texture.
