- 200 grams bean thread noodles (glass noodles)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium bell pepper, sliced thinly
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 100 grams spinach or bok choy
- 500 milliliters water
Instructions
Soak the bean thread noodles in warm water for 10 minutes, or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Set the sauce aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Toss in the chopped green onions and spinach (or bok choy), and stir-fry for another minute until the greens are wilted.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and mix well with the vegetables.
Add the soaked and drained bean thread noodles to the sauce and vegetable mixture.
Pour in 500 ml of water and toss everything together. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the noodles fully absorb the sauce and are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer more heat, sprinkle additional chili flakes.
Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
