Ingredients
8 oz flat rice noodles
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 cup protein (tofu, chicken, or shrimp)
3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp cooking oil (avocado or vegetable)
Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Green onions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook rice noodles for 4–6 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Prep the veggies & protein: Slice veggies and prep protein — dice chicken, cube tofu, or clean shrimp.
Cook the protein: In a skillet or wok over medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and cook protein:
Tofu: 5–6 mins
Shrimp: 3–4 mins
Chicken: 7–8 mins or until 165°F internal temp. Remove and set aside.
Stir-fry the veggies: Add another tbsp of oil. Stir-fry carrots 2 mins, then add broccoli, peppers, and ginger. Cook for 3–5 mins until crisp-tender.
Combine: Return protein to skillet. Add noodles and soy sauce. Toss with tongs for 2 mins until everything is heated through.
Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Keep veggies crisp for the best texture.
Have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking.
Use medium-high heat for authentic stir-fry results.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat with 1–2 tbsp water to restore moisture.
