Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare 8 oz rice noodles according to package instructions by soaking in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable but still slightly firm, then drain and set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and the white parts of 4 sliced scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Step 3: Add 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
4. Step 4: Add the drained rice noodles to the wok, followed by 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. Toss everything together and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce evenly coats the noodles.
