This is the kind of meal you throw together when you’re hungry and don’t want to plan. Noodles cook fast, vegetables soak up the sauce, and everything happens in one pan with ingredients you can actually afford.

Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into small florets and slice the mushrooms.
- Finely chop the garlic and ginger.
- Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown.
- Add the broccoli and cook briefly so it stays bright and slightly crisp.
- Stir in garlic and ginger.
- Add soy sauce, chili paste, sugar, and water.
- Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the noodles directly to the pan.
- Cover and cook until the noodles are tender and the sauce thickens.
- Toss everything well so the noodles are evenly coated.
- Finish with black pepper and optional toppings.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
Cut the broccoli small — large pieces slow everything down.
If the pan dries out, add a splash of hot water instead of more oil.
