Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces black bean noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 4 stalks green onions
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: thinly slice the garlic cloves, julienne the red bell pepper and carrot, and chop the green onions, separating the white parts from the green parts.
Cook the black bean noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes in boiling water. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to prevent them from sticking.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the julienned red bell pepper, carrot, and the white parts of the green onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce.
Add the cooked black bean noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything gently to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and the green parts of the green onions.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, tangy finish.
