My easy fried noodles make a quick, comforting meal with chewy noodles, crisp bok choy, savory Chinese sausage, and soft scrambled eggs. Everything comes together in under 20 minutes for a satisfying dish that’s simple yet full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz dried wheat noodles
  • 1 lb baby bok choy
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 Chinese sausages , sliced (or other sausage) (*Footnote 1)

Instructions

  • Boil noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse with cold tap water to stop cooking, drain and set aside.
  • Cut off the ends of baby bok choy. Slice the whites into 1/2” (1 cm) pieces and slice the greens into 1” (2.5 cm) pieces. Soak in cold water for 2 minutes, rub gently to remove any dirt. Drain and set aside.
  • Combine the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and salt in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet (or a wok) over medium heat until just smoking. Add the eggs. Scramble until cooked through and the surface turns light golden. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil and the baby bok choy. Cook and stir until just wilted, 2 minutes or so. Transfer to the plate with the eggs.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sausage. Cook until the edges turn golden. Add the scallion and stir to release fragrance.
  • Add the noodles and toss a few times. Pour in the sauce. Cook and stir to coat noodles evenly with sauce. Add back the eggs and baby bok choy. Toss to mix well. Add the scallion greens. Transfer the noodles to individual serving plates. Serve hot as a main dish or side dish. Stir in sesame oil or chili crisp if desired.

Notes

  1. This dish is cooked several ways in China, and another popular version uses hot dogs. Alternatively, you can also use any other type of sausage you prefer, such as chicken sausage or pork sausage. I prefer to use a mild sausage so it doesn’t overpower the sauce too much.
