Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Rice noodles
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup Snow peas, trimmed
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Thai chili paste (optional)

Instructions
Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrot, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and Thai chili paste (if using).
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet with the vegetables, followed by the sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated and heated through.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the noodles and stir to blend the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts.
Serve warm for a delightful and colorful Thai-inspired meal!
