[Leftover] Char Siu Noodle Stir-Fry
with snap peas / carrots

Active: 40 Total: 40

Use leftover roasted pork from earlier in the week to make this noodle stir-fry that is full of colorful vegetables.
Smarts: Cabbage can take a long time to cook and will reduce considerably in the process. Things will go faster if you are using very thinly sliced cabbage or coleslaw mix. Adjust the time as needed so that all of your vegetables are tender to your liking, but don’t rush it - the cabbage will be best when it's super tender and has almost a silky texture.

Make

  7. Add stir-fry sauce and noodles to wok and toss everything together until combined.

  8. Remove from heat and stir in green parts of green onions.
