🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the noodles
Soak glass noodles in warm water for 5–10 minutes until soft. Drain well and cut into shorter lengths if needed.
Heat the pan
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Cook the cabbage
Add cabbage and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until softened and slightly sweet.
Add noodles & seasoning
Add glass noodles, soy sauces, sugar, white pepper, and water or broth. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
Simmer briefly
Lower heat and let everything cook together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.
Finish & serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot while soft and saucy.
💡 Comfort Food Tips
Napa cabbage gives the sweetest, softest texture.
Add a little extra broth if the noodles look dry.
For extra richness, finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.
This dish tastes even better when slightly saucy, not dry.
🍚 How to Serve
Serve on its own as a cozy main or alongside simple stir-fried vegetables. It’s perfect with chili oil, pickled vegetables, or a soft-boiled egg on the side.
