ASIAN GARLIC NOODLES


Easy peasy Asian noodle stir-fry. Quick, no-fuss, and made in less than 30min!
 

A dear friend is sucker for any kind of Asian noodles – hot, sticky, cold – you name it. She will eat every single strand of noodle left on her plate, guaranteed. Especially if it’s INDOMIE ;) This ones for you @ameera03 
When you can make a quick noodle stir-fry right at home and use up all those lingering veggies in your fridge, it’s even better.
You can also keep this completely meatless or add your desired protein as needed.
I used crispy turkey bacon because that’s what I had on hand but a combination of shrimp, chicken and even beef would be absolute perfection!
