Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak 8 oz dry rice noodles in hot water for 8 minutes until pliable but still firm, then drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 medium julienned red bell pepper, 1 large julienned carrot, and 1 cup trimmed snap peas. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Toss in the drained noodles and 3 sliced green onions. Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce coats all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving for a nutty finish.
