Soy Sauce Noodles

If you need a speedy, meatless dinner, this Soy Sauce Noodles recipe is the meal you can cook right now. I used Hong Kong Pan Fried Noodles, a pack of semi-cooked thin, wheat noodles.  Here in America, these are easily available at Asian groceries, in the refrigerated section. As an alternative, you can also use dry egg noodles.

Filipinos are drawn to Chinese recipes and cooking, because of the many similarities to our own Philippine cuisine in flavors, textures, ingredients, and appetite appeal. Like this dish. When I created a Tiktok video for my version of Soy Sauce Noodles, my friends and family asked ‘Is that pancit’? I can say both yes and no. It does look like our favorite pancit canton, but it is not. They’re simply pan-fried Chinese noodles, seasoned with soy sauce and oyster sauce.

This is the ideal wholesome meal that satisfies and warms you up. Serve it for lunch, merienda, a side dish, or even as a quick midnight snack when you crave the munchies. This cooks in less than ten minutes. When you twirl the thick, opaque noodles, coated with the savory sauces, you’ll enjoy how it fills you up. It’s so hefty and superb, you’ll forget it’s a meatless meal. Go cook some now!

This meatless dish cooks fast and easy with thin wheat noodles, stir-fried with toyo (soy sauce), oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Sprinkle scallion greens and some lemon juice at the end, for a quick lunch, merienda snack, a side dish, or even a midnight meal. This is an Asian in America recipe by Elizabeth Ann Quirino

Cook's comments:

• Noodles: As a substitute for noodles, you can use dried egg noodles for this recipe. Follow package instructions how to prepare. When cooked, add them to the recipe as instructed.

  Ingredients: Some recipes for this dish add mung bean sprouts. I have occasionally done so. I try not to add too many vegetables because it will change the composition of the dish entirely.
