directions

  • Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil and heat until very hot, about 30 seconds. Add the seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds.
  • Add the red onions and stir fry until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the red peppers and toss lightly for a minute, then add the cabbage and continue cooking until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the sauce mixture and the softened noodles and carefully toss to blend. Cook until the noodles are tender, about a minute, then transfer the noodles to a serving dish.
  • To eat, spoon some of the noodle mixture onto a lettuce leaf, roll it up, tucking in the edges, and eat with your fingers.
