Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges, for serving
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prepare Noodles: Cook rice noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, sriracha, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add sliced bell pepper and shredded carrots, stir-frying for 3–4 minutes until they are just tender.
- Cook Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, pour in the lightly beaten eggs, and scramble until just set. Then, mix the eggs into the vegetable mixture evenly.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan, pour the prepared sauce over everything, and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through.
- Finish with Fresh Ingredients: Stir in the bean sprouts and green onions, cooking for another minute. Remove the pan from heat and top the stir fry with chopped fresh cilantro.
- Serve: Serve the stir fry hot with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.
Notes
- You can add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for extra protein.
- For a fully vegetarian version, substitute soy sauce for fish sauce and omit eggs.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha or chili sauce to control the heat level.
- Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water to prevent sticking and overcooking.
