Instructions

Mix the stir-fry sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs in a bowl then pour the eggs into the pan tilting the pan so the egg spreads out evenly into an omelette. Let cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. (Don’t worry if it breaks when you flip it.)
Remove the omelette from the pan and cut it into small strips or pieces. Set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan on medium-high heat, then add the scallions, cabbage and garlic and sauteé for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles and omelette back to the pan and mix everything together.
Next, add the stir-fry sauce to the pan and toss everything together until well combined.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes

*You can substitute Kecap Manis with equal parts dark or light soy sauce and honey, dark or light soy sauce and brown sugar, or hoisin sauce.

To make this recipe vegan, leave out the egg.

Feel free to add any proteins you love to this recipe. Add the proteins in with the vegetables and sauteé before adding the noodles.
