Ingredients

Scale

Noodles and Sauce

  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Protein

  • 8 oz boneless chicken or shrimp

Vegetables

  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned

Other

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Boil water in a large pot and cook flat rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Heat Oil and Garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn.
  3. Cook Protein: Add the boneless chicken or shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry until fully cooked through—approximately 3-5 minutes for chicken or 2-3 minutes for shrimp—stirring constantly for even cooking.
  4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced bell peppers, broccoli florets, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for another two minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp to retain texture.
  5. Combine and Season: Return the cooked noodles to the skillet. Add the low-sodium soy sauce and brown sugar. Toss everything together thoroughly until the noodles are evenly coated and the dish is heated through. Adjust seasoning if desired, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add sliced fresh chili or a sprinkle of chili flakes during cooking.
  • Use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
  • Substitute chicken or shrimp with firm tofu for a vegetarian option.
  • To keep noodles from sticking, toss them with a small amount of oil after draining.
  • Fresh herbs like Thai basil or cilantro can be added as garnish for extra flavor.
