Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Carefully add the egg noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until they reach an al dente texture, usually around 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside, allowing any excess water to escape.

In a large skillet or wok, pour in vegetable oil and place it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about a minute until it shimmers, indicating it's hot enough for frying.

Once the skillet is hot, add the mixed vegetables to the pan. Stir-fry these vibrant veggies for approximately 3-4 minutes, tossing continuously until they become tender-crisp.

Now, stir in your choice of cooked protein along with minced garlic. Cook this mixture for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently until everything is heated through and the garlic is fragrant.

Carefully add the drained egg noodles to the skillet, mixing them gently with the stir-fried ingredients. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together continuously for about 2-3 minutes.

Once your noodles and ingredients are combined, taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as desired. Keep the heat on low to maintain warmth.

To finish, generously sprinkle the tops of your Quick Pan Fried Noodles with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and texture. Serve them immediately while hot.
