Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup snap peas
- 2 egg
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp cilantro
- 2 green onions
- 2 tbsp peanuts
- 1 cup protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add your chosen protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) and cook until fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add sliced carrots, red bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the eggs with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
Return the cooked protein to the skillet, then add the cooked rice noodles. Pour the sauce over everything and toss well to combine, ensuring the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and well mixed.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and crushed peanuts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
