Steps
Step 1
Prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl. You could whisk, or blend, depending on what is more convenient for you!
Step 3
Scramble your eggs! I like to slightly undercook mine so that it stays soft. Remove them from your pan and set aside!
Step 4
Time for the protein! Heat your oil and garlic in a large pan or wok. Once it’s hot, saute the protein until browned. This only takes a few minutes! Set this aside.
Step 5
Take your chopped veggies, and stir fry them. Once the veggies are almost done, add your noodles in! After adding the noodles, add your protein, eggs, and then sauce. Toss it to combine! Add your toppings (green onions, cilantro, peanuts, lime, etc), serve, and ENJOY! :)
