Asian Weekend at home Pt2: Sweet Potato Noodle with fresh veggie and Honey-Ginger Soy sauce

It has been a while since I have last posted, but I have been cooking. Summer with kids home is always a busy time. But I am attempting to get back on track.Okay, so Korean Style Sweet Potato Noodles are a clear Vermicelle noodle. Just a heads up, if you cook these noodles al dente, they will have a very slipper quality to them, so beware if you are feeding them to kids. Anyway, you can purchase these noodle at an Asain grocer. Prepare per direction on the back of package. It takes about 10 minutes. (I made enough for 2 people so about 1 handful)
imageWhile the noodle are cooking, lets make the sauce and prep the veggies.Slice 1 half onion, dice 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, and dice 1 elepant garlic clove. 1 dried red chili.imageFor veggies, I sliced 1 half green bell pepper, about 10 florets of brocoili and 1 handful of sugar snap peas.
image
For sauce, in a small bowl, add about a teaspoon of the ginger and garlic and either a half or the whole dried chili, just crush it up with your hand.
imageTo that add 2 to 3 tablespoons of honey,
image and about 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Whisk together until honey is mixed. Set to the side.
imageIf it has been 10 minutes, drain you Sweet Potato noodles and rinse in cold water and set to the side.
imageNow I like to cook in a Wok, because it is faster, but if you don't have a Wok, you can use a big frying pan. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil and heat on medium high to high (every stove is different).
imageAdd in the brocoili, bell peppers and peas. Keep the veggies move so the don't burn (us a wooden or metal spoon). About 2 minutes, some of the veggies may start to brown and that is okay, just keep them moving.
image
After 2 minutes add the onions, and the rest of the garlic and ginger. Season with a little Kosher salt. Keep those veggies moving. With these times, your veggies will still have a crunch to them, if you want them softer, cook them a minute or 2 longer, just keep moving them around in the wok.imageAfter about 2 to 3 minutes
image add the sauce and let cook for 60 seconds then remove from heat.
