Ham and egg stir-fry noodles with vegetables

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Ham – any type of smoked ham
	Eggs – medium or large size eggs
	Leeks – whites and greens, split lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch lengths.
	Spinach – fresh or baby spinach
	Asian-style noodles – any type of egg noodles or rice noodles. I’m using egg noodles.
	Vegetable oil – any type of vegetable oil to cook the ham and the vegetables.
	(Optional) Cayenne pepper – for a bit of spice
	Sesame seeds – plain or toasted sesame seeds

Spices and flavoring ingredients:

	Soy sauce – regular or low sodium soy sauce that is salty, not sweet.
	Ginger – ground ginger powder for flavor
	Brown sugar – for a touch of sweet to counteract the soy sauce
	Garlic – garlic powder or flakes
	Rice vinegar – for a touch of sour
	Beef stock – any type of beef stock or beef broth.
	Pinch of salt and pepper

Cooking tips

• Don’t use the dark green parts of the leek that are too hard and stiff.
• Be sure to add the eggs towards the end after the noodles have finished cooking, otherwise they will disappear into the sauce.

Why we love it

On those days when you don’t know what to cook, it is amazing how far a pack of noodles, and some eggs and ham will take you.

In less than 30 minutes, they are cooked in a seasoned broth that is so easy to make, it is no wonder that stir-frys are so popular in Asian cuisine.

Now I typically use spring onions in a stir fry, but that can make it a little too tangy if you add too much.

Since the eggs are milder, I like to use leeks instead in this recipe for that sweet onion flavor that is more mild. I’ve also added a dose of spinach to get more veggies in the dish.

What to serve with it?

This delicious ham and egg stir-fry noodles dish can be served by itself, or with an appetizer like these fresh chicken spring rolls or these prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

How to store it?
