A quick and satisfying bowl of rice noodles dressed in a spicy chili-garlic sauce that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz rice noodles (pad thai-style or thin rice vermicelli)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado, canola, or vegetable)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or Thai basil for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup (or honey), rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss vigorously for 2-3 minutes until coated and glossy. Remove from heat and top with green onions, sesame seeds, and herbs. Serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Honey can replace maple syrup. Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos.
