πŸ“ Ingredients

  • 600 g (1.3 lb) frank sausages, sliced
  • 1 pack (440 g / 15.5 oz) Singapore-style wok-ready egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 capsicums (bell peppers), diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 100 ml (⅓–½ cup) water
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¾ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chicken powder
  • ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning

πŸ‘¨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients. Slice the frank sausages and dice the capsicums (bell peppers), carrots, and onion.
  2. Loosen the noodles. Microwave the wok-ready egg noodles for 90 seconds, then gently separate them with chopsticks or your hands. Alternatively, soak them briefly in hot boiling water according to the package instructions.
  3. Cook the sausages. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat (about 180–190°C / 355–375°F pan temperature). Add the sliced sausages and cook for 5–6 minutes until lightly browned. 

  4. Cook the aromatics. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion begins to soften. 

  5. Add the vegetables. Stir in the diced carrots and capsicums (bell peppers). Cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp. 

  6. Add the noodles. Add the loosened egg noodles and toss everything together until evenly combined. 

  7. Season the stir fry. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chicken powder, Old Bay seasoning, soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. 

  8. Finish cooking. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the seasoning and the water to evaporate. 

  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve immediately while hot.
