Servings: 4

Ingredients

Rice noodles: 8 ounces
Green onions: 3, chopped
Bean sprouts: 1 cup
Bell pepper: 1, sliced (any color)
Carrot: 1, julienned
Onion: 1, sliced
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Sesame oil: 2 tablespoons
Oyster sauce: 2 tablespoons
Soy sauce: 3 tablespoons

Instructions

Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 15 minutes until they are softened, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create the stir-fry sauce. This sauce will infuse your noodles with a rich umami flavor.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, stir-frying for about 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the wok, stir-frying for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften and brighten in color.
Add the drained rice noodles to the wok along with the prepared stir-fry sauce. Toss continuously for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through.
Toss in the bean sprouts and chopped green onions, stir-frying for an additional minute until the bean sprouts are crisp and vibrant.
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with additional green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for added richness and flavor.
