    Rice noodles with vegetables recipe ingredients

    Ingredients used in making this Rice Noodles Stir Fry recipe with Asian sauce.

    Noodles : I use Stir fry rice noodles. These noodles don't need much cooking. You can also use Rice Stick Noodles.

    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, 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.

    Rice stick noodles cooked in hot water and drained water in colander.

    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. Stir in carrots and broccoli and stir fry them.

    Now add red cabbage and cooked noodles in the wok. Stir fry everything for 3-4 minutes on high heat. Turn the heat off .

    Colorful veggies stir fried in the wok.

    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

    1. We prefer to use Coconut Amino Sauce as healthy replacement for soy sauce. But you can use either based on preferences.
    2. 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 added protein, serve it along with Air Fried Tofu or Smoked Tofu.

    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.

    How to Avoid Rice Noodles getting sticky?

    Rice noodles can become sticky for a few reasons. Here are some common factors that may lead to sticky rice noodles:

    1. Overcooking: If rice noodles are cooked for too long, they can become mushy and sticky. Follow the package instructions for cooking time, and consider slightly undercooking them if you plan to stir-fry them afterward.
    2. Not Rinsing After Cooking: After cooking, it's important to rinse the noodles under cold water. This stops the cooking process and removes excess starch that can lead to stickiness.
    3. Not Using Enough Water: Insufficient water can lead to the noodles clumping together. Ensure there's enough water in the pot to fully submerge the noodles.
    4. Letting Them Sit Too Long: If cooked noodles are left sitting in a pot or strainer without being rinsed, they can stick together as they cool down.
    5. Storing Noodles Without Oil or Sauce: If you're preparing noodles ahead of time, tossing them with a little oil or sauce can prevent them from sticking together.

    Recipe FAQs

    You can use tofu, tempeh, seitan, or even plant-based meat substitutes. Just be sure to prepare and cook them according to their specific instructions before adding them to the stir fry.

    Can I use different vegetables in this stir fry?

    Yes, absolutely! This recipe is quite versatile, and you can use a wide variety of vegetables based on your preference and what you have available. Some great options include mushrooms, baby corn, bok choy, snow peas, spinach, or any other vegetables you enjoy.

    Are rice noodles gluten free?

    Yes, rice noodles are generally considered to be gluten-free. They are made from rice flour and water, and do not contain any wheat or other gluten-containing grains.
