Ingredients

• 200 grams Rice noodles
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce (vegan and gluten-free if needed)
• 1 tablespoon Chili paste or sambal oelek
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0 Optional toppings: chopped peanuts or cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking the noodles in hot water for 5-8 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir until the sauce is well combined and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the heat slightly and pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Use tongs or a large fork to combine well.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the noodles. Toss lightly to distribute.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with optional toppings like chopped peanuts or cilantro for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
