Description
A fast and flavor-packed noodle dish with tender rice noodles, roasted cashews, bell peppers, onion, garlic, ginger, and a glossy sweet-spicy sauce that comes together in just 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 3/4 cup roasted cashews
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles just until tender according to package directions. Drain well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and lime juice until smooth.
- Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper, then stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still vibrant.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cooked noodles and roasted cashews to the skillet.
- Pour in the sauce and toss everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
- Finish with the sliced spring onions, toss once more, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Toast the cashews lightly for deeper flavor and better crunch.
- Do not overcook the noodles, because they will continue to soften in the pan.
- Add more chili garlic sauce only after tasting, since the heat can build quickly.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water.
