We love the bright flavor that lime and chile-garlic sauce give to this quick and easy veggie-and-noodle stir-fry. Multicolored peppers make this recipe festive, while the addition of eggs makes it a satisfying vegetarian supper.

  • Combine sherry, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.

  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom wok over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add eggs and tilt wok to create an omelet. Cook until set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn the omelet over and cook 30 seconds more. Remove to a clean cutting board and cut into strips.

  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, mushrooms and bell peppers to the wok; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add cabbage. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the scallions for garnish and add the rest to the wok. Stir-fry until all the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes more. Add the chile-lime sauce and the noodles; toss to coat. Add the omelet strips and stir-fry until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with the reserved scallions.

Add chicken or shrimp to change it up Tasty easy meal for any night. I sauteed some chicken before adding the peppers and mushrooms; shrimp would have been excellent. Also I used soba noodles and liquid aminos to make it gluten free would have been just as good with rice noodles or no noodles. Will definitely make this again. Pros: Easy and Delicious Read More

Better than take-out! I don't have a wok so I used a large skillet instead. Instead of trying to make an omelette and then cutting it apart I just scrambled the eggs instead. The flavor of this dish is great - rivals any take-out menu and doesn't leave you parched from too much sodium! Pros: common ingredients tasty easy quick Cons: no leftovers! Read More

Delicious. I made it just as the recipe calls for. I thought 2 tablespoons garlic chile paste might be very spicy but it was perfect. Read More

Easy and different. Made this meal exactly following the directions. It was good had nice flavour from the limes and a satisfying crunch from the cabbage. The eggs were new for me and worked well this way! It's a good not so special healthy weeknight meal. If you like a bit of kick try finding Nanami Togarashi at an asian food store. Google it! It's blended spices from Japan. I sprinkle it on all of my asian stir-fries just before eating. It's a blend of chili pepper orange peel black and white sesame seeds Japanese pepper ginger and seaweed. It's awesome! Took this dish to another level. Pros: Crispy vegetables Cons: Sauce very liquid Read More
