Instructions

Step 1: Soak 8 oz rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until tender but firm, then drain and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add 1 medium julienned carrot, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and 1 cup trimmed snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Step 4: Add the drained noodles to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Toss thoroughly for 2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and the sauce evenly coats all ingredients.
