Step 1

Cook the noodles, per the package directions, to al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, prep your vegetables, cutting them into similar-sized julienned pieces.

Step 3

In a small bowl, stir together the sauce ingredients until the sugar dissolves completely.  Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

In a skillet or wok, over high heat, saute the garlic and ginger in the vegetable oil.  When fragrant but not browned, stir-fry the vegetables, stirring often, until just barely tender.

Step 5

Stir in the rinsed noodles, tossing to combine with the vegetables.  Add the sauce mixture and continue tossing and cooking for a minute or two to fully coat each noodle with the sauce.

Step 6

Serve your noodles in bowls and top with chopped peanuts or cilantro, if desired.

Step 7

This is excellent served steaming hot but is equally delicious served at room temperature or even cold.
