• Heat oil over a large skillet on medium heat. Add the garlic, broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Saute the veggies for 3-5 minutes.

Notes

• Cook the noodles according to the package and set them aside before you stir fry the veggies. 
• Prepare the sauce while the noodles cook. 
• Adjust the amount of sriracha to make the sauce mild or spicy.
• Chop your veggies into similar size pieces, so they cook evenly. 
• Don’t overcook the veggies. They should be crisp-tender. 
• Add the garlic last when stir-frying the vegetables so it doesn’t burn. 
• Use two wooden spoons to toss everything together in the pan. 
• Don’t skip the garnish.
• Serve immediately.
