Instructions
- Prepare the noodles: Cook the wide rice noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain them well, then rinse under cold water to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce if using, and lime juice. Stir well and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics and vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sliced onion, sautéing for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add sliced bell pepper, shredded carrots, and snap peas or broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Cook the eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until just cooked through, then mix the eggs together with the vegetables.
- Add noodles and sauce: Add the drained noodles to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss to coat evenly and stir-fry for another 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Garnish and serve: Serve the stir fry hot, topped with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Add tofu, shrimp, or chicken for extra protein options.
- Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili garlic sauce.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet with a splash of water to maintain moistness.
