If you messaged me this week after I posted a badly lit photo<\/a> of an exceptionally tasty stir fry on Instagram, this is 100% for you!\u00a0 It’s the kind of stir fry I pull together often, a catch-all of things needing to be used up. You’ve got silky rice noodles, bright and crunchy broccoli, toasted cashews, quick-marinated crumbled tofu, and pan-seared onions tossed in a feisty chile-boosted soy sauce. I added mushrooms the second time I made it (for these photos), but you don’t have to. I used broccoli, but you can use asparagus, shredded brussels sprouts or kale. I’ll talk more about that down below. I definitely tend to do that thing you’re not supposed to do here – overload the pan- but it’s the kind of one-pan meal I love. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\"A
\nA couple things before we get to the recipe. If you make a lot of stir fries, consider investing in a wok. The cast iron wok I bought with Grace Young<\/a> from The Wok Shop in San Francisco years ago is one of my prized cooking vessels (this is the one<\/a>). It’s the kind Cantonese home cooks swear by to impart the coveted taste of wok hay.<\/i> I’m not saying I’m there yet, but I aspire. And if you don’t have a wok, don’t let it deter you – grab your largest skillet and use it for your stir fry.

A Few Stir Fry Variations<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll put most of this in headnotes of the recipe as well.<\/p>\n

Green Vegetables<\/span>: I\u2019m writing this recipe up using broccoli as the green vegetable here, but you have lots<\/em> of other options. Use an equivalent amount of asparagus (1 1\/2-inch segments), or 4-5 big handfuls of , chopped kale, pre-cooked artichoke hearts are fair game, or peas, (or pea shoots!). You see where I\u2019m heading? This is all really adaptable based on what you have on hand.<\/p>\n

Make it a Little Creamy<\/span>: A splash of coconut milk toward the end is nice.<\/p>\n

Citrus is Good<\/span>: One of my favorite finishing touches here is to throw something citrusy in at the end. I have a makrut lime tree on the patio, so I often sliver a couple leaves razor thin and add them at the end. Lemon zest, Meyer lemon zest, and\/or orange zest is equally welcome here. Totally not necessary, but it really is a nice touch.<\/p>\n

Boil versus Soaking the Noodles<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m having you boil the noodles here to get them just the right amount of tender. It\u2019s what I did to get dinner on the table quickly the other night, and works great. The common alternative is to soak them, but there is such a wide range of noodles out there, and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll all use quite a range of them, so I think boiling them is the safest bet for consistency across the board. Depending on the noodles, sometimes the soak technique doesn\u2019t work, and you end up boiling them anyway.<\/p>\n

\"Recipe
\nHere’s the photo I posted taped in my recipe journal along with notes about how to make it after dinner the other night. I do this when I want to remember something I liked so I can make it again at some point. You can see the size of the noodles I used (left-hand page), and I also like to leave “next time” notes to myself (down in the corner) – ways to tweak, flavors or ingredients to add or explore, etc. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
