Super Simple Stir Fry

I've always been a little intimidated by stir fry and it's myriad sauces. Then, I received this package of Japan Somen noodles that was simple, fast, and only needed soy sauce. You could probably use almost any type of noodle--somen, ramen, rice, etc. I made a half batch and had 3 servings. If you do a full batch, be sure to use a large skillet.

8 ounces oriental noodles
3 tsp vegetable oil, divided
1/2 lb boneless, lean pork or chicken, cut into thin strips
1 clove garlic, minced
2 green onions & tops, thinly sliced on diagonal
1 medium carrot, coarsely shredded
1/2 lb mung bean sprouts (I didn't have so I substituted some julienned yellow squash)
1 cup (packed) shredded green cabbage
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper

[Note: Have everything cut and ready before you turn on your frying pan. Things cook very quickly once you start.]

Cook noodles as package directs. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain well. Heat large frying pan, preferably nonstick, over high heat. Add 2 tsp oil; coat pan. Add pork or chicken and garlic; stir-fry 3 minutes, or until meat is browned and cooked through. Remove from pan. Heat remaining 1 tsp oil in same pan. Add green onions, carrot, sprouts and cabbage; stir-fry 1 minute. Add noodles, meat, soy sauce and pepper. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until all is heated through. Remove from heat and serve.
