Ingredients

• 200 grams vermicelli noodles
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 100 grams broccoli florets
• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, it involves soaking them in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are soaking, peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel and julienne the carrot. Slice the bell pepper thinly. Chop the broccoli into small florets. Chop the green onions into thin slices, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Add the carrot, bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and add the drained vermicelli noodles to the skillet.

Step 7

Pour the low sodium soy sauce over the noodles and toss everything together to combine well.

Step 8

Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors from the soy sauce and the vegetables to mix evenly.

Step 9

Add the sesame seeds and season with ground black pepper. Stir-fry for another minute.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions (both white and green parts).

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy this low-fat fried vermicelli with your favorite side dish.
