Ingredients

Stir Fry Sauce
  • ½ cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
  • ½ cup vegetable stock or water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar or honey up to 2 Tablespoons, to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon corn starch
  • red pepper flakes optional
Stir Fry Noodles
  • 14 ounces dry stir-fry rice noodles
  • 2 Tablespoons neutral oil
  • ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced or minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger finely chopped or grated
  • 1 carrot cut into matchsticks or bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli cut into small florets
  • 8 ounces snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced or bite-sized pieces
  • 1 batch stir fry sauce recipe included
  • ½ cup cashews roughly chopped
  • cilantro to garnish, optional
  • green onions to garnish, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together the sauce ingredients (or shake in a jar) and set aside.
  2. Prepare noodles according to package directions for stir fry noodles; this will vary depending on the brand. Taste of Thai noodles usually requires soaking in warm water for 20-30 minutes, whereas Thai Kitchen noodles require boiling for 4 minutes. Par-cook them before making the stir fry, as they will finish cooking in the sauce.
  3. Heat 2 Tablespoons oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or stock pan. Add onion, garlic, and ginger, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add carrots, broccoli, snap peas, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the red bell pepper for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the sauce and bring to a simmer, then stir in the prepared noodles until fully combined. Cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally until the noodles are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Garnish with cashews, cilantro, green onion, and a lime wedge as desired.
