Noodles Asian noodles Breakfast Lunch / Dinner One Bowl Meals

Stir fried noodles, Chinese sausage and bok choy

Published: 09.12.2022 » Last updated: 01.04.2023

A quick and easy one bowl meal, fresh egg noodles are combined with thinly sliced sweet-salty Chinese sausages and bok choy, and seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame seed oil.

Stir fried noodles, Chinese sausage and bok choy

Truth be told, boiling the noodles took longer than stir frying the dish. Fresh egg noodles from the neighborhood Japanese grocery is used here but you may substitute dried noodles. Even instant ramen will be good but you won’t be needing the packet of seasoning that go with it.

Boiling noodles in pan

Whether you use fresh noodles or dried noodles, you still need to cook them in boiling water. Take them off the heat while they are still lightly chewy. And the most important part of prepping them is to drain them and bathe them in cold water before draining again. This stops the cooking immediately and prevents them from turning soggy.

Bok choy, sliced Chinese sausage, sliced onion and sauce

There aren’t a lot of ingredients in this dish. Aside from the noodles, you need Chinese sausages (slice them thinly), an onion (peel and slice), the sauce (mix equal amounts of soy sauce, oyster sauce and hoisin sauce with a drizzle of sesame seed oil) and bok choy. Because bok choy stalks take longer to cook than the leaves, it is a good idea to separate them.

Stir frying Chinese sausage and bok coy

Drizzle cooking oil into a wok or frying pan, add the sliced onion, sliced sausages and bok choy stalks and stir fry for a minute. The sausage slices will curl a bit during this stage and the bok choy stalks will begin to soften. Add the bok choy leaves, sprinkle in a bit of salt and stir fry for half a minute or just until the leaves are starting to wilt.

Dump in the drained noodles, drizzle the sauce directly over them then stir fry everything together until the noodles are heated through and the sauce has been evenly distributed. And that’s it! Like I said, quick and easy. And utterly delicious, of course.

Connie Veneracion
There are several varieties of Chinese sausage. Most are made with pork, others with chicken or duck liver or some other meat. Chinese sausages can be salty, sweet or both sweet and salty. I find that the sweet-salty pork sausage works best for this recipe.
