  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles

Sauce & Oil

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 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

  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp

Additional

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the flat rice noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain well and set aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat Oil and Sauté Garlic: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until aromatic and lightly golden, releasing its flavor.
  3. Cook Protein: Add the boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry until fully cooked. This takes approximately 3-5 minutes for chicken and 2-3 minutes for shrimp, depending on size. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry together for about two minutes until the vegetables become slightly tender but still retain a crisp texture.
  5. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Return the cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and sprinkle the brown sugar over the ingredients. Toss everything thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve: Once everything is well mixed and piping hot, remove from heat and serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add fresh chili or chili flakes when sautéing the garlic.
  • Ensure noodles are not overcooked to maintain their chewiness in the stir-fry.
  • You can substitute chicken or shrimp with tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust soy sauce and sugar according to your taste preference for saltiness and sweetness.
  • Use fresh vegetables for the best texture and flavor; frozen can be used but may release more water.
