A quick and healthy lunch featuring vibrant purple sprouting broccoli, fragrant ginger, and garlic tossed with noodles in a flavorful sauce.
Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, brown sugar (or maple syrup), and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil and 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the purple sprouting broccoli and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour the sauce over the broccoli and garlic-ginger mixture. Stir-fry for another minute, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce and broccoli. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
Remove from heat and drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil.
Garnish with sesame seeds (if using) and serve immediately.
