Stir Fry Noodles

FAQ

If this is your first noodle stir-fry, stick with standard lo-mein egg noodles — preferably fresh noodles, if you can find them. They are easy to work with and make a great stir-fry.
Despite the broad term, there are technically different types of rice noodles found in Chinese cuisine. These can include ho fun, lai fun, mi xian, vermicelli and many more provincial specialties. Other than shape and thickness, the main difference is how the noodle is prepared for cooking.
For chow mein, we half-cook the noodles, put them into the wok to stir fry them with other ingredients, then add the sauce. For lo mein, we boil the noodles until fully cooked, stir fry the other ingredients with sauce, then toss the noodles in the sauce.
Kelp noodles are best for a stir fry, or dishes that call for thin noodles, Vu says. If you're looking to keep calories as low as you can, use them in place of rice or ramen noodles.
Woks are large and have sloping sides that let you cook the entire stir-fry in one pan, so you can easily stir and flip the food without fear of it flying out. They also are designed to cook foods quicker than skillets and with less oil. If you can't use a wok (or another carbon steel pan) then any skillet will work.
