Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, snap peas)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables into uniform bite-sized pieces. Slice green onions into thin rings and set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
- Heat a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and allow it to become hot and shimmering.
- Add mixed vegetables to the hot oil, stir-frying quickly for 2-3 minutes until they become crisp-tender but retain their vibrant color and slight crunch.
- Add cooked rice noodles to the vegetable mixture, tossing gently to combine and distribute vegetables evenly.
- Pour soy sauce and oyster sauce over the noodles, using tongs or chopsticks to mix thoroughly, ensuring every noodle is coated with sauce.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing noodles to absorb flavors and develop slight caramelization.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the restaurant-style Asian noodle experience.
Tips
- Use a wok or wide skillet for the best heat distribution and authentic stir-fry technique.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a professional presentation.
- Don't overcook the rice noodles - they should be tender but still have a slight bite.
- Have all ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying moves quickly.
- Use high heat to achieve that signature "wok hei" flavor and slight caramelization.
- Fresh vegetables are key - choose crisp, colorful produce for the best results.
- Adjust sauce quantities to your taste, but be careful not to make the noodles too soggy.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
