Whenever we get a chance, we love to prepare Chinese cuisine. We've discovered that most of the dishes are quite simple to make. However, the most time-consuming part is preparing the spices, sauces, and vegetables. The cooking process itself is quick and straightforward. Recently, we created this Stir-Fried Garlic Noodles with Shrimp and Scallops, which we believe is our all-time favorite homemade Chinese dish. Of course, we can't forget about other classics such as General Tso's Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli stir fry, Beef and Broccoli, and many more. We enjoy making all of them!
TIPS:
- Make sure to measure all sauces before using them.
- Chop the Garlic and Ginger
- Slice the Mushrooms
- It's important to prepare everything ahead of time, and the actual cooking time should take less than 15 minutes.
Stir-Fried Garlic Noodles
This Stir-fried garlic noodle recipe requires less preparation time compared to other Chinese dishes. In less than 30 minutes, you can have the dish ready from start to finish. To save time, start boiling the water for the noodles while preparing the spices and sauces.
A few of the other stir fry recipes we love to make are General Tso's Chicken, General Tso's Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp, Beef and Broccoli, Garlic noodles shrimp and scallops, Garlic green beans, Broccoli, and Sauteed Broccoli and Garlic.
