Soy Sauce Pan-fried Noodles (15 Minutes!)

You will not believe how EASY and quick it is to make these delicious Soy Sauce Noodles!

Savory, spicy, and super addicting Soy Sauce Pan-fried Noodles take less than 15 minutes to make at home.

Today, I am making a vegetarian-friendly version, but you can also add chicken, pork, or beef to the noodles.

Soy Sauce Pan-fried noodles are a must-try recipe and the perfect weeknight dinner that goes well with EVERYTHING. 

Soy Sauce Pan-Fried Noodles has been on my and my husband’s weeknight dinner rotation for the past few weeks!

It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare, and you can adjust the ingredients based on what you have in the fridge.

For vegetables, you can add broccoli, bean sprouts, peppers, and baby corn.

For protein, you can add tofu, chicken, beef, or pork. 

The sauce is what makes the Soy Sauce Pan-Fried Noodles super addicting.

A perfect balance between savory and spicy. Depending on your spice tolerance, you can adjust the amount of Thai red chili to add.

If you like it spicy, I recommend adding in around 2-3 chopped red chili. You will need soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water for the sauce.

The sauce tastes good with everything; you can even use it as a stir-fry sauce if you are keto. 

For the noodles, I am using Shanghai Noodles today to make the Soy Sauce Pan-Fried Noodles.

If you can’t find shanghai Noodles, you can also use frozen udon or chow mein noodles. Depending on the noodle you are using, there are different instructions to prepare.

• If you use Chow Mein, blanch the noodles in hot water for 2-3 minutes, rinse with cold water and drain.
• Frozen udon: pour hot water over the udon to separate, drain and set aside.
• Shanghai noodles that are already pre-cooked like mine, you don’t have to do anything; however, if not, follow the exact instructions as chow mien.
