Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 8 oz rice noodles and cook according to package instructions for about 6 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red chili flakes, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 julienned carrot, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup trimmed snow peas, and 3 sliced green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp fresh lime juice. Toss and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until noodles are heated through and coated evenly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the noodles before serving.
