Indonesian Veggie Stir-Fried Noodles

Indonesian Stir-Fried Noodles is a popular street food that's easy to make at home. 

The most difficult of the ingredients to obtain is kecap manis, a thick and sweet kind of soy sauce. Since the dish itself is very quick and easy to prepare, be ready almost as soon as the noodles are cooked. 

The only obstacle lies in locating the elusive kecap manis. To make this dish more accessible, I’ve used a quality teriyaki sauce instead. Check that the ingredients of your teriyaki consists mainly of sweet wine, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. If you can find kecap manis, substitute 4 tablespoons of it for the teriyaki sauce.
