Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams rice noodles
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., avocado or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 100 grams bok choy or other greens, chopped

Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes and stir quickly to release their aroma.
Add the chopped bok choy (or greens) to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted.
Toss the cooked rice noodles into the skillet, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the oil and aromatics.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss again, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well combined.
Remove from heat and garnish with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
