Inspired by a recipe in Hetty McKinnon’s cookbook “To Asia, With Love,” we created this oven-only noodle dish, but we took some liberties, swapping instant ramen for the thin Chinese egg noodles customarily used to make chow mein. The ramen doesn’t require actual cooking—it needs only to hydrate in boiling water for a few minutes. We skip the splatter and stirring of stovetop cooking by using a baking sheet and a hot oven to oven-fry noodles alongside broccoli and sweet bell peppers. To finish, we toss everything with a simple blend of oyster sauce, soy sauce and garlic (or ginger), which brings delicious umami, saltiness and sweetness.

Yummy! 🍜
I used this recipe basically as a base or starting point. I did reduce the soy sauce, added ginger, garlic, gochujang, rice vinegar and siracha as part of the sauce. Green onion and sesame seeds as a garnish. (I also added TJ's orange chicken on the side but really didn't need it).

Hit The Spot
Loved how easy this recipe came together and if you're craving something Asian, this recipe will satisfy that craving. I used all the ingredients suggested (garlic & ginger in the sauce and the green onions, garlic chili sauce and toasted sesame seeds for the toppings). Enjoyed the flavors and will make this one again.

So Simple and So Good
This was so easy to make. Definitely will be in a rotation whenever I want an easy asian side noodle dish. Two thumbs up!

This was...kind of delicious? I thought it'd be yummy, of course, but I ended up eating a painful amount of it. Used ginger AND garlic and scallions AND sesame seeds.

Meh
Everything cooked well just lacked as much flavor as I hoped for.
