• Heat a large chef pan or skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, add oil, minced garlic and ginger and saute for 30 seconds, until they start sizzling.
• Add sliced onions, peppers and julienned carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until the onions start to turn translucent.
• Add shredded cabbage and stir-fry another 2 minutes.
• Add the cooked noodles to the pan
• Pour the sauce over the noodles and with the help of tongs or two spoons, toss everything to coat with the sauce.
