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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
