Instructions
Prepare Noodles and Ingredients
- Soak rice vermicelli in warm water until softened. Drain water and set aside.
- Combine stir fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set it aside.
- Wash and slice all vegetables into thin, even pieces so they cook quickly and evenly.
Stir Fry the Aromatics and Vegetables
- Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
- Start with onion, carrot, and snap peas. Follow with the bell peppers and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp but still bright in colour.
Season and Combine Everything
- Add the softened rice vermicelli noodles to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss well over high heat until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
- Add bean sprouts and spring onions and toss for another 30 seconds. Make a taste test and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
- Cut the veggies into the same size pieces or strips. Start the stir fry with hard vegetables and follow with the softer ones.
- Hoisin sauce is made of fermented soybean paste with seasonings and spices. Instead of hoisin sauce, you can use oyster sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce ( mushroom stir fry sauce ).
- Use thin, round rice vermicelli noodles for this recipe. It's also labelled as rice sticks, bihon, or just vermicelli in the packaging.
