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
Vegetables and Noodles
- 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
Garnish
- Cook Noodles: Fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare 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 Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and broccoli florets, stirring to coat them in oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until onions begin to soften.
- Add Sauce and Noodles: Pour half of the prepared hoisin sauce into the pan with the vegetables, stirring to combine. Use tongs to add the cooked noodles directly into the pan. Add a splash of the noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce and help coat the noodles evenly.
- Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the remaining hoisin sauce, sliced spring onions, and water chestnuts to the pan. Toss all ingredients together, adding more noodle cooking water as needed to achieve your desired level of sauciness. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Serve and Garnish: Immediately plate the noodles and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Hoisin Broccoli Noodles!
