Instructions

Step 1: Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until softened but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes until they just start to turn pink.
Step 3: Add 4 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger to the wok. Stir-fry everything together for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4: Add the drained rice noodles, 3 sliced green onions, 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated evenly with the sauce.
Step 5: Serve immediately garnished with additional green onions if desired.
