Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons crushed peanuts
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove it from heat and soak the rice noodles according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until tender but not mushy. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and set 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.
Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the drained rice noodles to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.
Stir in the bean sprouts and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with spring onions, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and optional red chili flakes.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
