One of my all-time favorite dishes, and one I’m excited to share with you, is the Jimbu Infused Stir-Fried Noodles. This fusion of flavors combines my Californian love for fresh fruits and Asian cuisine with a zingy twist. It’s like a medley of flavor, color, and nutritional power in a single dish. The Jimbu, a traditional Nepalese herb, lends a distinct and aromatic flavor that makes this dish truly standout. The vibrant mixed fruits take it to a new level of deliciousness, and garners nods of approval from both adults and children alike.
A Nutritious Symphony on a Plate
This recipe is a treasure trove of nutrients. The combination of broccoli, bell pepper, carrots, and snow peas pack in a high dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The fruits provide a natural sweetness and also come loaded with vitamins and fiber. Not to mention, the garlic, ginger, onion, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, each enrich the flavor and offer additional health benefits. According toHealthline, carrots are exceptionally high in vitamin A and other antioxidants, believed to benefit heart and eye health.
Unique Twist to Comfort Food
I love this because it’s a refreshing take on the comfort of stir-fried noodles. The inclusion of fresh fruits rather unexpectedly enhances the overall taste and texture, making the Jimbu Infused Stir-Fried Noodles one of a kind. It offers a wonderful contrast to the spicy-tangy flavor of the stir-fry.
This dish is a showstopper by itself, but it pairs wonderfully withSeared Salmon with Soy, Scallions, and Ginger for a complete meal experience. It’s equally splendid with a side ofChicken Tikka Masala, for when you’re in the mood for a fusion feast.
The recipe might sound sophisticated but trust me, it’s pretty simple to put together, even on busy weeknights. I keep coming back to this recipe because it encompasses my food principles – health-conscious, flavorful and exciting. I hope you enjoy the Jimbu Infused Stir-Fried Noodles as much as I do. Bon appétit!
What You’ll Need
- 2 tablespoons of Jimbu (Nepalese herb)
- 16 ounces of dried egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 1 cup of snow peas, trimmed
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

Method
Step One
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dried egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Step Two
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the Jimbu and let it fry until it turns a darker shade, being careful not to burn it.
Step Three
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute. Next, add the thinly sliced onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
Step Four
Add the broccoli florets, snow peas, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Continue stir-frying for another 3-4 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step Five
In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables and toss everything together to combine.
Step Six
Add the cooked and drained egg noodles to the pan. Toss everything together, ensuring that the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step Seven
Remove the pan from heat and top the stir-fried noodles with the mixed fresh fruits. The fruits will add a refreshing burst of sweet and tangy flavors to counterbalance the savory noodles.
Step Eight
Give everything one final mix before serving hot. Enjoy your uniquely flavored Jimbu Infused Stir-Fried Noodles with a touch of freshness from the fruits!
