Thai Style Skillet Wide Rice Noodle Stir Fry
Description
The Thai Style Skillet Wide Rice Noodle Stir Fry begins by sautéing onions, garlic, green chili, and sliced mushrooms in oil until soft and fragrant. Wide rice noodles are then cooked in water on the skillet, allowing them to absorb moisture and become tender. After this, crunchy vegetables like bell peppers and broccoli are added, followed by a sauce concocted from soy sauce, molasses, vegan fish sauce, brown sugar, corn starch, and white pepper. This sauce thickens when brought to a boil, coating the noodles and vegetables with a flavorful glaze. Thai basil and green onions finish the dish, adding fresh herbal notes.
The stir fry balances savory, sweet, and mildly spicy elements while showcasing a mix of textures from tender noodles to crisp vegetables. This dish can be made with or without tofu for added protein. The preparation allows some flexibility, including pre-cooking noodles to streamline the process. Optional substitutions for the fish sauce include a soy sauce and molasses mixture with lemon juice and mushroom powder to replicate umami flavors without animal products.
