Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce (vegan and gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon Chili paste or sambal oelek
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
Start by preparing the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking the noodles in hot water for 5-8 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir until the sauce is well combined and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat slightly and pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Use tongs or a large fork to combine well.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the noodles. Toss lightly to distribute.
Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings like chopped peanuts or cilantro for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
