Ingredients

• 200 grams dry black bean noodles
• 400 grams canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 juice of lime

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the black bean noodles as per package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the bell pepper and carrot to the skillet, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the drained black beans, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the beans are heated through.

Step 5

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are well coated with the sauce and evenly heated.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions and cilantro.

Step 7

Plate the noodles and sprinkle with sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving for an added burst of flavor.
