Ingredients

  • 8 oz. rice noodles (or noodles of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spicy Vegetable Noodles

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  6. Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overcook the noodles; they should remain slightly firm for the best texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference. You can also substitute it with chili paste for a different flavor.
  • For extra crunch, consider adding some crushed peanuts or sesame seeds on top before serving.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the vegetables based on the season or what you have in your fridge—zucchini, broccoli, or mushrooms work great.
  • Add protein by incorporating tofu, tempeh, shrimp, or chicken. Just cook the protein first before adding the vegetables.
  • For a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter or tahini before serving.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of crispy spring rolls for a complete meal.
  • A light cucumber salad to balance the heat.
  • Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
  • A refreshing iced tea or lemonade to cool off.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply toss them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water or soy sauce if they seem dry.
