Ingredients Needed
To make this noodle stir fry, you will need the following ingredients:
- Low Calorie Spray - I prefer to use a low calorie spray without any added emulsifiers.

- Onion: Provides foundational flavour with subtle sweetness and sharpness, enhancing the dish’s depth.
- Carrot: Adds vibrant colour and natural sweetness, maintaining a slight crunch when thinly sliced.
- Red Chillies (Seeds Removed): Brings mild heat and colour, adding spice without overpowering other flavours.
- Garlic: Infuses rich, aromatic quality, essential for a robust flavour profile.
- Dried Egg Noodles: Firm texture that absorbs flavours well, providing a satisfying base for the stir fry.
- Hoisin Sauce: Sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy, it gives the dish its signature savoury depth.
- Soy Sauce: Adds salty, umami-rich flavour, balancing the sweetness of the hoisin sauce.
- Honey: Introduces natural sweetness, ensuring a well-rounded taste with a hint of sweetness.
- Shaoxing Wine: Adds depth and complexity with its slightly sweet, nutty flavour.

Variations and Substitutions
You can easily customize this Quick Hoisin Vegetable Noodle Stir Fry with these versatile variations and ingredient substitutes:
- Vegetables: Explore a variety of textures and flavours by experimenting with different vegetables. Substitute broccolini with regular broccoli or asparagus for a similar crunch and taste. Replace baby corn with colourful bell peppers to add sweetness and vibrancy. For a refreshing twist, swap carrots with snow peas or sugar snap peas for a crisp, green addition.
- Noodles: Tailor the dish to your dietary preferences by selecting alternative noodle options. Opt for rice noodles for a gluten-free alternative, or embrace a low-carb approach with zucchini noodles or other vegetable-based alternatives.
- Protein: Elevate the dish with added protein sources. Introduce sliced chicken breast for a hearty, satisfying meal, or incorporate cubed tofu for a vegetarian-friendly option. Ensure tofu is well-pressed to absorb the rich flavours of the sauce and vegetables.
- Sauces: Experiment with different sauces to elevate the flavour profile. Swap hoisin sauce for teriyaki sauce for a sweeter, ginger-infused taste. For a gluten-free alternative, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos while still enjoying its umami richness. Enhance the sweetness with maple syrup in place of honey, ideal for vegan diets.
- Spices: Infuse the stir fry with additional depth and complexity by incorporating aromatic spices. Add freshly grated ginger for warmth and a hint of spiciness. Intensify the heat by sprinkling in chilli flakes instead of using red chillies.
- Additional Ingredients: Add an extra dimension of flavour and texture with complementary ingredients like roasted cashews or peanuts for a satisfying crunch and nutty undertones.
Tips for Perfectly Cooked Noodles
Achieving perfectly cooked noodles is essential for a delicious stir fry experience. Follow these tips to ensure your noodles are just right:
- Follow Package Directions: Always refer to the package directions for cooking times and methods. Different types of noodles may require varying cooking times, so it's important to follow the instructions provided.
- Avoid Overcooking: Resist the temptation to overcook the noodles, as they can become mushy and lose their texture. Cook them until they are just tender, with a slight bite to them.
- Rinse in Cold Water: Once the noodles are cooked to your liking, immediately rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps prevent them from becoming overcooked while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- Prevent Stickiness: To prevent the noodles from sticking together, spray them lightly with a low-calorie cooking spray and toss to coat evenly. This creates a thin barrier that helps maintain their individuality and ensures they remain easy to stir-fry.
By following these simple tips, you'll master the art of cooking noodles for your stir fry, ensuring they are perfectly tender, separate, and full of flavour with every bite.
