Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to boil, add 8 oz rice noodles, and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender but firm; drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering; add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 julienned medium carrot, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup broccoli florets to the skillet; stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 4: Stir in the drained noodles along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using; toss everything together over medium heat for 2 minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce coats the noodles.
