Tips
- Slice cabbage or bok choy stems thinly so they soften quickly and cook at the same pace as noodles.
- Cook noodles just to al dente, then finish them in the pan with sauce and cabbage so they absorb more flavor.
- Use a wide sauté pan instead of a narrow pot so moisture cooks off fast and the vegetables stay tender-crisp.
- Start with aromatics like garlic, ginger or scallions, add cabbage next and toss in noodles last to keep the texture balanced.
