Instructions

1. Step 1: Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until softened, then drain. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1 tbsp water to make the sauce.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 cups thinly sliced mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
3. Step 3: Push vegetables to the side, add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the center, and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Add the drained rice noodles and sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and noodles are heated through.
