Ingredients
Scale
Rice Noodles
- 1/2 pound rice noodles
Vegetables
- 7 ounces small cremini mushrooms, halved
- 1 red pepper, cut into strips
- 7 ounces snow peas
- Scallions, to taste
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Rice Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add halved cremini mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until they start to brown and soften.
- Add Vegetables: Add the red pepper strips and snow peas to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender yet still crisp.
- Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and cook for about one minute, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked rice noodles with the sautéed vegetables and sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with scallions, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra protein, consider adding tofu or tempeh.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha for desired spice level.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for added crunch.
- Ensure noodles are not overcooked to maintain their texture in the stir-fry.
