- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or agave)
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional for spice)

👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the noodles:
Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss lightly with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Stir-fry the veggies:
In a large wok or skillet, heat a little sesame oil. Add garlic and ginger — sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms, carrots, broccoli, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
3️⃣ Make the sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sriracha, and cornstarch slurry.
4️⃣ Combine everything:
Add the cooked noodles and sauce to the wok. Toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through. Add green onions and a splash more soy sauce if needed.
5️⃣ Serve & enjoy:
Top with extra sesame seeds or chili flakes for a finishing touch. Serve hot and enjoy that takeout-style satisfaction — made right at home! 🍽️
💡 Pro Tip:
For extra protein, toss in some crispy tofu or tempeh cubes. You can also swap the noodles for rice noodles or whole-wheat spaghetti!
