A super easy vegetable and noodle stirfry made with my BEST homemade sesame sauce.
This meal is simple to make and OUTSTANDING in flavor. I love a good stirfry and sometimes all I want is a big plate of vegetables to slirp up and something that won’t take me all night to make. This is my go to for exactly that. Now the sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Prepping it ahead comes in handy during weeknights when just want to throw it all together. But it really doesn’t take long the day of either, just depends on how much time you have/want to spend.
I love to use fresh vegetables but of course frozen works too.
Ok let’s get started on the recipe!

Instructions
Sesame Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer until sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. *Note you can store any leftover sauce in the fridge for up to a week.
Stirfry
- In a wok or large pan, heat on med-high. Add the oil. Let it get hot then add the broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with some black pepper.
- Cook, stirring often until the vegetables start to get a slight char going.
- Push the vegetables to the side, pierce the package and warm the noodle packs in the microwave for 1 minute or run under water. Add to the wok and stir. Cook for 1 minute. Just enough time to get the noodles some warmth.
- Now goes the vegetable broth, sesame sauce, soy, and red pepper flakes.
- Stir well. Get everything incorporated. Stir-fry for a couple minutes or until the liquid is gone but still keeping the noodles juicy.
- Turn off the heat, add the green onions and toss. Now goes the sesame seeds. I love a good drizzle of scriacha sauce.
- ENJOY!
