Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces eggs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
- 1 piece carrot, julienned
- 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 pieces green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water according to the package instructions until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and chili flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the garlic to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the pan. Scramble them gently until fully cooked, then mix them together with the garlic.
Add the julienned carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the skillet, followed by the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce is well absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro.
Serve the noodles immediately, topped with crushed peanuts if desired.
