- In a large ceramic/enamel lined skillet, Dutch oven, or non-stick skillet, add the onions, carrots, and red bell peppers, sauté over medium-high heat for 7 to 9 minutes to soften, then lower the heat to medium, add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté, stir constantly over for one minute.
- Then add the shredded cabbage and ¼ cup water, then water sauté/steam until the cabbage wilts and reaches the desired tenderness.
- Add the Sauce Mixture to the skillet, stir to incorporate and thicken the sauce, bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add in the cooked noodles, stir well to coat the noodles, heat through – about 3 minutes, then remove from the stove and allow the flavors to marry for a few minutes. Top with sliced green onions, red pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds.
