Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Boil a pot of water and pour over the rice vermicelli noodles in a heatproof bowl. Let them soak for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, then stir in the onions, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Return the ground beef to the skillet and add the chickpeas. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce into the skillet and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Add the drained rice vermicelli noodles to the skillet and toss gently with tongs or a spatula to incorporate all the ingredients and distribute the sauce evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
