Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz dried rice noodles (or lo mein noodles)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 cup cooked protein of choice (e.g., chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Cook the rice noodles (or lo mein noodles) according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. If needed, rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring frequently for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
If using a cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu), add it to the skillet and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and protein in the skillet. Stir to coat the ingredients evenly.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well coated with the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the noodles to a serving dish.
Garnish the dish with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy your Easy Asian Noodle Dish!
