Ingredients

• 8 oz Rice noodles
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 1 unit Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 unit Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 2 units Green onions, chopped
• 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 unit Lime, cut into wedges (for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Allow them to soak for 8–10 minutes or until softened but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the softened rice noodles to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss everything together to coat evenly. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes to heat the noodles through.

Step 7

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles.
