Main Ingredients
- 8 oz flat rice noodles
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp
Vegetables
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
Sauce
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sauté garlic: Add minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, releasing its aroma.
- Cook the protein: Add chicken or shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry until cooked through; approximately 3-5 minutes for chicken or 2-3 minutes for shrimp.
- Stir-fry vegetables: Toss in bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots. Continue stir-frying for another two minutes until vegetables are slightly tender yet still crisp.
- Combine and season: Add cooked noodles back into the skillet along with soy sauce and brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly until well combined and heated through.
Notes
- For spicier variants, add Thai chili or chili flakes when sautéing garlic.
- Use gluten-free tamari soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
- Shrimp can be substituted with firm tofu for a vegetarian version.
- To prevent noodles from sticking, toss them with a little oil after draining.
- Adjust brown sugar and soy sauce quantities to taste for balance between savory and sweet.
