Ingredients

• 200 grams vermicelli noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium bell pepper, julienned
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the vermicelli noodles in warm water for about 5-7 minutes until they become pliable. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and slightly translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the julienned carrot and bell pepper to the pan, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and add the drained vermicelli noodles to the other side.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the noodles, then sprinkle the sugar. Toss everything together using tongs or a spatula to ensure the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the sauces.

Step 8

Continue cooking and tossing the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and slightly crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the heat, and stir in the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Step 10

If desired, add chili flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with extra green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
