Ingredients

• 300 grams rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 100 grams bean sprouts
• 2 spring onions, sliced
• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 3 tablespoons crushed peanuts
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove it from heat and soak the rice noodles according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes) until tender but not mushy. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, and julienned carrot to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the drained rice noodles to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Stir in the bean sprouts and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until heated through.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with spring onions, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and optional red chili flakes.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
