Ingredients

Noodles and Sauce

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

Protein

  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp

Vegetables

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

Other

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook the flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat the oil and sauté garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant to release its aroma and flavor.
  3. Cook the protein: Add your choice of boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry chicken for about 3-5 minutes until fully cooked or shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  4. Stir-fry the vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for approximately two minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still retain a crisp texture.
  5. Add noodles and sauce: Return the cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and sprinkle in the brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure noodles and ingredients are well coated and heated through.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels while keeping authentic flavors.
  • Feel free to substitute vegetables according to your preference or what’s in season.
  • Adjust the protein quantity based on servings or dietary preferences.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, omit the meat and add tofu or extra vegetables.
  • For spicier noodles, add fresh chili or chili flakes during the garlic sautĂ©.
