Cooking Instructions: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Saute the Vegetables (and Protein, if using)

• Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil.
• Toss in the vegetables of your choice, such as carrots, bell peppers, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
• If using protein like tofu or chicken, sauté it along with the vegetables until cooked through.

Step 2: Add Noodles and Sauce

• Add the cooked soba noodles (prepared earlier) to the pan with the vegetables.
• Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of Moi Soi Hot Garlic Sauce, along with a splash of water. Stir-fry everything on high heat for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 3: Taste and Serve

• Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve the noodles hot, garnished with spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.
