Weeknight dinners can be exhausting to think about, but they don’t have to be! These sesame garlic noodles can be made in under 15 minutes and are a HUGE HUG in a bowl. So comforting and delicious, it takes the stress out of the dinner time hustle and bustle!

These noodles are loaded with flavor and full of veggies and protein for a complete meal all made in one pan. Hello minimum mess and dishes! I like to use a bagged shredded cabbage / carrot mix for an even faster and more convenient dish.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces Hokkien stir fry noodles – vacuumed packed
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 cups shredded green / red cabbage with carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped white & green parts separated
  • Sesame seeds
  • Avocado oil

Sauce

  • 4 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • white pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat. While oil is heating mix together all ingredients for sauce. Once oil is hot, add in ground chicken and break apart with a wooden spoon while cooking. Pour in 2 tbsp of sauce and finishing cooking chicken. Once done, remove ground chicken from pan
  • Add more oil into pan and pour in shredded cabbage/carrot mix. Cook for about 2 minutes or until wilted and move cabbage to outer edges of skillet creating a circle in the middle.

Copycat Nothing Bundt Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chi Copycat Nothing Bundt Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake 🎂🍫 

I love making classic copycat cake recipes for my birthday, and this one did not disappoint. It tastes just like the real deal, is super easy to make, and costs a fraction of the price.

Watch to the end for the secret trick that keeps this cake insanely moist, just like Nothing Bundt Cakes.

💬 Comment RECIPE and I’ll DM you the full recipe.

INGREDIENTS 
1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate fudge pudding
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
4 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp espresso powder
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Frosting
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

For the Bundt Pan
Butter
Cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, milk, oil, and espresso powder. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Butter a bundt pan well, then add about 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and rotate the pan to coat all the grooves.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, beginning to check around 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. You may hit a chocolate chip, so test a couple spots.

Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Turn cake out onto plastic wrap, wrap tightly while still warm, and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours.

To make frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and whip until creamy.

Once the cake is thawed, pipe frosting starting from the outer edge of the cake and work inward toward the center to create the classic Nothing Bundt Cake style stripes.
