Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Gluten-free rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option). Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add sesame oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and heat for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the noodles, stirring gently to combine.
Remove from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Spicy Sesame Garlic Noodles!
