• 2 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Thai chili paste (optional)
• 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the carrot, red bell pepper, purple cabbage, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and Thai chili paste (if using).

Step 6

Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet with the vegetables, followed by the sauce. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated and heated through.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the noodles and stir to blend the flavors.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts.

Step 9
