Ingredients
Noodles : I use Stir fry rice noodles. These noodles don’t need much cooking.
Veggies : Broccoli florets, carrots, red cabbage as main vegetables. You can use any vegetables of your choice. Thinly slice the carrots and cabbage for even cooking.
Seasoning : Whisk together sesame oil, Liquid Coconut Amino , rice vinegar , onion salt or any other all purpose seasoning blend. Mix in ground black pepper, lemon juice, raw sugar and chili flakes ( adjust per taste)
Garnish : Lime wedges, chopped green onions and cilantro
How To Make Noodles and Veggies Stir Fry
In a large stock pot, bring 4 cups of water to boil. Immerse rice noodles in water and turn off the heat. Let stand for 8-10 minutes. Drain the water and rinse the noodles in cold water and keep aside.
In the meantime, prep the veggies. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok or pan. Add minced garlic and let it sizzle for a minute. Add carrots and broccoli and stir fry them.
Add red cabbage* ( see note) and cooked noodles. Stir fry everything for 3-4 minutes on high heat. Turn the heat off and mix the veggies and rice noodles together.
Whisk all ingredients under seasoning with 1 tbsp. of oil. Pour this marinade over noodles and veggies. Toss everything nicely so the seasoning coats the noodles and veggies well.
Garnish with green onions, lime wedges and cilantro. Serve warm or cold.
Recipe Notes and Pro Tips
- We prefer to use Coconut Amino Sauce as healthy replacement for soy sauce. But you can use either based on preferences.
- Red cabbage wilts quickly and bleeds it’s color when heated. It looks light pink when cooked. So if you like it’s original color, just toss it in very last and turn the heat off.
Serving Ideas
This stir fry is a meal enough of itself. You can serve it warm or cold. So it is also good for school and office lunches.
For elaborate meals, start off with Chili Garlic Edamame or Grilled Shishito Pepper Appetizer. You can add Spicy Green Beans or Chinese Spicy Eggplant as a side to complement the meal.
