The most common drawback of homemade stir-fried instant noodles is that the noodles are not firm and chewy like those in restaurants. To overcome this, you should pay attention to the blanching process of the noodles. Most people boil or blanch the noodles briefly in boiling water before stir-frying. In fact, this is a method that makes the noodles soft and mushy.

You should soak the noodles in room temperature water until they soften before stir-frying. But the most effective method is “steaming” the noodles, although it’s a bit more complicated. You place the noodles on a rack and place it over a pot of boiling water, allowing the steam to soften the noodles without making them mushy. The stir-fried noodles will still be firm and flavorful as usual.

When stir-frying noodles with vegetables and beef, you should stir-fry the beef first until it’s partially cooked, then remove it from the pan. Use the juice released from the beef to stir-fry the vegetables to make them sweet, and then add the noodles back in and stir-fry until everything is well combined. Turn off the heat, transfer the vegetable-beef mixture to a plate, and enjoy immediately. Alternatively, you can quickly toss the vegetable-beef mixture in the pan and then transfer to a plate.

If you want crispy stir-fried noodles, after soaking the noodles, you can fry them in oil, place them on a plate, and then add the stir-fry ingredients on top.
The seasoning for stir-fried noodles is soy sauce, which is tastier than fish sauce because it’s less salty and doesn’t have a strong smell like fish sauce. Another thing to note is that you should use high heat when stir-frying the noodles, as this will quickly rehydrate the noodles and make them firmer and more delicious.
