Step 1

Begin by soaking the rice vermicelli noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick wok or skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sliced onion to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Increase the heat to high, and add the drained rice vermicelli noodles to the pan. Toss well with the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour in the low sodium soy sauce and hoisin sauce, stirring constantly to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 7

Add the bean sprouts and continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.

Season with white pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if needed with extra soy sauce or hoisin sauce cautiously to maintain low sodium levels.
