Cooking Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fresh egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and toss them with a drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside while you prepare the stir-fry.
- In a large wok or non-stick skillet, add a mix of vegetable oil and a splash of sesame oil. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering, roughly 2-3 minutes.
- Once the oil is hot, quickly add minced garlic and grated ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Introduce the julienned red bell pepper, broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and julienned carrot to the wok. Stir-fry the mixture for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and brightly colored.
- Next, add the cooked egg noodles to the wok with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together gently for about 2 minutes to incorporate the ingredients well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper until smooth.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle and vegetable mixture in the wok. Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes until all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through.
- Remove the wok from heat and toss in the sliced green onions. Gently mix until they are just incorporated.
- Transfer the stir-fried noodles to a serving platter, allowing the vibrant colors to shine. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch and a nutty flavor. For an extra pop of freshness, garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
- Serve your Savory Asian-Style Stir-Fried Cafeteria Noodles warm, either in bowls or family-style on a platter.

Notes
