Ingredients
- 8 ounces wide rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup snap peas
- 1–2 Thai bird chilies, sliced (adjust for spice preference)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and sliced chilies to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped basil leaves just before serving.
- Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles.
Notes
- For added protein, include cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu during the stir-fry step.
- Substitute the vegetables with your favorites such as carrots, zucchini, or baby corn for a different flavor profile.
