Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 20 grams fresh coriander leaves
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Boil a pot of water and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
Finely chop the garlic and add to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until they are lightly cooked but still crunchy.
Thinly slice the spring onions and add them to the pan. Stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, chili flakes, and salt. Stir to combine, then add to the pan with the bean sprouts and spring onions.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and toss everything together to coat evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat and transfer the noodles to serving plates.
Roughly chop the coriander and mint leaves. Sprinkle them generously over the noodles as a garnish.
Serve immediately with extra lime wedges for added freshness if desired.
