• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add sesame oil.

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and heat for 1 minute, stirring continuously.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.

Step 8

Remove from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro if desired.
