Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Noodles

    Place the clear rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes or until they are softened. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Protein

    If using chicken, season the sliced chicken breast with salt and pepper. If using tofu, ensure it's drained and cut into cubes.

  3. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    Slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrot, and chop the green onions. Set all vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken (or cubed tofu) and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Stir-fry the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant and slightly tender.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the soaked and drained noodles to the vegetables in the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and chili flakes. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through.

  4. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Add the cooked protein back into the skillet and mix well. Sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your clear noodles!
