Ingredients
  

200g rice noodles

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, sliced (choose red or yellow for added color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 green onions, chopped

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon chili paste (adjust according to your spice preference)

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: Start by boiling water in a pot. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 3-5 minutes. When they’re al dente, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking. Set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and chili paste. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. Set aside this flavorful sticky sauce for later use.

      Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant but are careful not to burn them.

        Add Vegetables: Next, incorporate the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, snap peas, and julienned carrot into the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing often, until they are bright in color and tender-crisp.

          Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet with vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the top, then gently toss everything together. Ensure that the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated in the sticky sauce. Continue stir-frying for another 2 to 3 minutes until everything is hot and glossy.

            Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped green onions for a fresh crunch. Give the entire mixture one last toss to combine. Plate the stir fry generously on individual plates, topping each serving with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.
