Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gluten-free rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (optional)
Instructions
Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes into the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce (tamari), rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and honey or maple syrup.
Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine with the aromatics. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly in the spicy garlic chili sauce.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the noodles with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and (if desired) cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors!
