Ingredients for stir-fried rice noodles
- 200 grams of rice noodles
- 150 grams of sugar snap peas
- 1 carrot
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 piece of ginger
- 3 spring onions
- 200 grams of mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 onion
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- Oil for frying
Heat your carbon steel wok over high heat and add a splash of oil. Add the mushrooms and fry them until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the mushrooms from the wok and set them aside.
Add another splash of oil to the wok. Add the ginger, garlic, onion, spring onions, bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat until they are just tender and fragrant.
Add the soaked rice noodles to the wok and mix them well with the vegetables.
Add the previously fried mushrooms back into the wok and stir everything together.
Pour a generous splash of soy sauce over the dish and add a bit of sriracha for a spicy kick. Mix everything well so the noodles and vegetables absorb the sauce.
Spoon the stir-fried rice noodles onto plates and garnish with some extra spring onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve with a wedge of lime for a fresh flavour boost. Enjoy!
