Is Stir Fry Good For You?
This Korean Stir Fry is relatively healthy and definitely better for you than many restaurant variations that use a lot of oil. The vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals and are a great way to get more fresh veggies into your family’s diet.
For a healthier option, you can replace the oil with about half of the recommended in the recipe. You can also replace the pasta with zoodles or place the stir fry veggies into a lettuce wrap.
How Do I Make Korean Stir Fry Noodles?
For a successful stir fry, you will want to be prepared.
First, prepare the pasta water first so that once you drop the noodles into the water, you can begin stir-frying the veggies.
While the water is coming to a boil, prepare all of your veggies.
