    Sichuan Noodle Stirfry / 蚂蚁上树

    A quick and classic Chinese noodle stir-fry made vegan with minced mushrooms in place of ground pork. This dish is traditionally made with clear noodles/vermicelli but rice noodles (shown here) also work well.

    Yields2 Servings
    Prep Time5 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time15 mins

     4 oz fine noodles (vermicelli/mung bean or rice noodles)
     2 teaspoon cooking oil
     1 tablespoon chili bean/broad bean paste*
     1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
     8 oz shiitake mushroom, finely chopped
     2 cups assorted chopped vegetables (I used napa cabbage and bell pepper)
     2 cups vegetable broth
     ½ teaspoon sugar
     1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
     ¼ cup scallions, chopped

    1

    Soak the noodles in cold water for 10 minutes while you are prepping the vegetables. Rinse and drain.

    2

    Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat, then add oil and mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add in ginger and the chili bean sauce and cook for another minute.

    3

    Add in all the other ingredients except for the chopped green onions, and bring to a boil.

    4

    Stir in noodles until thoroughly coated and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add more water at this point if necessary (the noodles soak up liquid very quickly). Top with the chopped scallion/cilantro as garnish.

    Notes

    • *Essential for the authentic flavor. You can find this in the international food aisle of a grocery store or in any Asian grocery store.
