Vegetables & Noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup (128 grams) yellow onion, chopped

Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Fill a large pan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: While heating the water, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Chinese black bean paste, chili paste, garlic powder, sesame oil, Chinese five spice powder, and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and broccoli florets, tossing them to coat in the oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until onions begin to soften.
- Add Half Sauce & Noodles: Pour half of the hoisin sauce into the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine. Using tongs, add the cooked noodles directly into the pan. Add a splash of noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce.
- Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the remaining hoisin sauce, spring onions, and water chestnuts. Toss everything together, adding more noodle cooking water as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
