Sauce Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Chinese black bean paste
- ½ teaspoon chili paste (sambal oelek or sriracha)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- Small pinch Chinese five spice powder
- ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup (128 grams) yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cups (248 grams) broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
- 10 ounces (283 grams) dried noodles (lo mein, chow mein, ramen, or spaghetti)
- 4 spring/green onions, sliced
- ½ cup water chestnuts
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: While the water is heating, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Chinese black bean paste, chili paste, garlic powder, sesame oil, Chinese five spice powder, and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and broccoli florets, tossing to coat in oil. Cook until the onions start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add sauce and noodles: Pour half of the prepared hoisin sauce into the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine. Using tongs, add the cooked noodles directly into the pan. Add a splash of the noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce.
- Combine and heat through: Add the remaining hoisin sauce, spring onions, and water chestnuts. Toss everything together, adding more noodle cooking water as needed to reach your desired sauciness. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Immediately plate the noodles, topping with toasted sesame seeds for garnish. Enjoy your flavorful Hoisin Broccoli Noodles!
