Noodles and Sauce
- 8 oz flat rice noodles
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Proteins
- 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp
Vegetables
- 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
Other
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Cook the Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles well and set aside to prevent them from sticking.
- Heat the Oil and Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, releasing its aroma.
- Cook the Protein: Add the boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 3-5 minutes until cooked through, or the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Continue stir-frying for about two minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp, preserving their texture and color.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles back into the skillet, along with the low-sodium soy sauce and brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles and vegetables are well coated and heated through before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken or shrimp with tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Adjust the soy sauce and brown sugar quantities to balance saltiness and sweetness to your liking.
- Use fresh vegetables available to you or add others like snap peas or mushrooms.
- To make it spicier, add chili flakes or fresh sliced chili during the stir-fry step.
- Ensure noodles are not overcooked to avoid mushy texture.
