Instructions

  1. Start boiling lightly salted water for 5 to 8 ounces of Chinese wheat or egg noodles. Cook noodles until al dente, then drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. Combine 3 tablespoons each of fresh lime juice, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice or white wine vinegar, along with 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1.5 to 2 teaspoons sugar, 0.25 tablespoon white pepper, and 0.5 to 0.75 teaspoon crushed chile; stir until sugar dissolves.

  3. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 to 3 teaspoons grated galangal or ginger, and 0.25 cup chopped shallots or purple onion for 1 minute.

  4. Add 1 medium carrot (matchsticks) and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the sauce; stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

  5. Stir in 5 to 8 sliced shiitake mushrooms, 1 small head broccoli florets, 1 small thinly sliced red pepper, and 3 to 4 more tablespoons of sauce. Continue stir-frying for 3 to 4 minutes until vegetables soften and broccoli is bright green and crisp.

  6. Add the cooked noodles and remaining sauce. Lift and turn to combine with vegetables, then stir-fry for 3 to 5 more minutes until noodles reach desired texture.

  7. Fold in 2 cups bean sprouts during the last minute of cooking.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, or chile as needed. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or coriander.
