Ingredients
Scale
Vermicelli Noodles
- 200g Asian vermicelli noodles
Sauce and Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Soak Noodles: Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 10 minutes or until they become soft. This rehydrates the noodles and prepares them for stir-frying.
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat, creating the base for your stir fry.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the heated oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
- Cook Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli) to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften yet retain their crispness and vibrant color.
- Add Noodles: Drain the soaked noodles and add them to the pan with the vegetables, mixing well to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Add Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles and vegetables, stirring to coat everything in the savory sauce mixture.
- Stir-Fry: Continue stir-frying the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes so the noodles absorb the flavors and the dish is heated through.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed according to preference.
- Serve: Serve the Asian vermicelli stir fry noodles hot and enjoy the delicious, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Soaking the vermicelli noodles properly ensures they cook evenly and don’t break during stir-frying.
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like snap peas, mushrooms, or baby corn for variety.
- For a vegetarian version, omit oyster sauce or replace it with a vegetarian mushroom sauce.
- You can add protein like tofu, shrimp, or chicken for a heartier dish.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the salt content if preferred.
