Ingredients
10 cups Water
1 pound Egg noodles
1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking oil, divided
3 cups Bean sprouts
1 cup Bamboo shoots, julienned into thin strips
½ cup Carrots, shredded
2 Dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked, stems removed, and julienned
2 Green onions, chopped
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 tablespoon Reduced-sodium soy sauce
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water for 15 minutes until softened. Remove the stems, discard them, and julienne the caps into thin strips. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape (al dente). Drain well in a colander and set aside.
Heat a non-stick wok or large skillet over high heat until it is very hot.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of the oil to the wok, swirling to coat the surface evenly. Add the drained noodles and pan-fry them for 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are golden brown and crispy. Transfer the noodles to a clean plate.
Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the bamboo shoots, shredded carrots, mushroom strips, bean sprouts, and green onions. Stir-fry over high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing frequently, until the vegetables are heated through and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked noodles to the wok with the vegetables. Sprinkle the salt, sugar, and soy sauce over the mixture.
Toss everything together thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings. Serve hot.
