Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz rice noodles
- 1 lb pork, sliced
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by slicing pork into thin strips and chopping mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince garlic finely.
- Soak rice noodles in hot water for 5-7 minutes until they become soft and pliable. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sliced pork to the wok, season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until pork is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add mixed vegetables to the wok and continue stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Pour soy sauce over the pork and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly and create a glossy sauce.
- Add drained rice noodles to the wok and gently toss everything together, ensuring noodles are well-coated with sauce and heated through.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with optional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Tips
- Prep is key: Have all ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking. Stir-frying moves quickly!
- Use high heat and keep ingredients moving to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd your wok or skillet - this helps vegetables stay crisp and meat brown nicely.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of sesame oil or rice wine at the end of cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha sauce while stir-frying.
- Make sure rice noodles are just softened, not mushy - they'll continue cooking in the hot wok.
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
