Ingredients
  

8 oz rice noodles (or your preferred noodle variety)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sesame oil recommended)

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (choose a mix of red, yellow, or green)

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup broccoli florets

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free options)

2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or use mushroom sauce for a vegetarian/vegan alternative)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili paste (optional, adjust to taste)

2 green onions, chopped

Sesame seeds for garnish

A handful of fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Noodles: Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to prevent further cooking. Set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced ginger and garlic to the hot oil. Sauté them for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

        Add Vegetables: Incorporate the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, shredded carrots, and broccoli florets into the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to cook until they are tender yet still crisp.

          Combine Sauces: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili paste (if using). Pour this flavorful sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the wok and stir well to combine, ensuring that all the vegetables are coated.

            Incorporate Noodles: Gently add the cooked noodles to the stir-fry. Using tongs or a spatula, carefully toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated in the sauce and fully heated through.

              Finish and Serve: Remove the stir-fry from the heat. Stir in the chopped green onions for a fresh crunch. Garnish your dish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve the stir-fry immediately, and savor the zingy flavors!
