Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the flat rice noodles according to package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat Oil and Garlic: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Cook Protein: Add your choice of boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 3-5 minutes until fully cooked, or the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  4. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Continue stir-frying for another two minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
  5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles back into the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and brown sugar, then toss everything together thoroughly until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

Notes

  • You can substitute boneless chicken or shrimp with firm tofu or beef strips for variation.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce and brown sugar to taste, depending on your preference for savory or sweet flavors.
  • For extra heat, add sliced fresh chili or a dash of chili flakes while stir-frying.
  • Use fresh vegetables for best texture and flavor.
  • Serve immediately for the best experience as the noodles can become soggy if left to sit.
