• 2 green onions chopped
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Instructions

1. Begin by cooking the Shanghai noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing them with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the pan, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
5. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the pan, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
7. Finally, toss in the bean sprouts and chopped green onions, stir-frying for another minute until the sprouts are heated but still crisp.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as necessary.
9. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
