Step 1
Cook the 8 oz chow mein noodles according to package directions until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add 3 cups mixed vegetables and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. They should be bright and slightly crunchy.
Step 4
Add the cooked noodles and 3 tbsp soy sauce. Toss everything together and cook until the noodles are heated through and coated, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
