Instructions

  1. Step 1: Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until pliable, then drain well.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red chili flakes, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Toss quickly to coat noodles evenly and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the noodles.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 medium julienned carrot, 1 medium thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 3 sliced scallions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Toss in 1 cup fresh bean sprouts and cook for an additional 1 minute to warm through while keeping crunch.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
