Ingredients

Noodles and Sauce

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned

Protein and Aromatics

  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set aside to prevent them from sticking.
  2. Heat Oil and Sauté Garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, ensuring you do not burn the garlic.
  3. Cook Protein: Add your choice of boneless chicken or shrimp into the skillet. Stir-fry the chicken for 3-5 minutes until cooked through, or shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for another two minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender yet still retain their crispness for the best texture.
  5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles back into the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the noodles and ingredients are well coated and heated through.
  6. Serve Warm: Once the noodles and ingredients are evenly mixed and hot, remove from heat and serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken or shrimp with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust the soy sauce quantity to taste, especially if using regular soy sauce instead of low-sodium.
  • For more heat, add fresh chili or chili flakes while sautĂ©ing garlic.
  • Ensure rice noodles are cooked to al dente to prevent mushiness when stir-fried.
  • Use a wok or large skillet for even cooking and easy tossing.
