Time to break out the wok! This is honestly my go-to for one pot meals, I have to admit. Whether it’s shrimp fried rice, simple sautéed veggies, or something yummy and noodle-y like this, if you ask me, wok = quick and easy every time.
This rice noodle stir fry is an easy one to adapt to any palette. Add or subtract crushed red pepper to make it as spicy or mild as you like. Add chicken, beef, or shrimp for a protein boost, or keep it strictly vegetarian for a Meatless Monday. Anything goes, and it’s the easiest thing!

Ingredients
For the stir fry
- 8oz large rice noodles
- 2 cups snow peas
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ cup baby portobellos
- 1 shallot
- Juice of ½ lime
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 scallion, for serving
For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons tamari
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
- First, prep your veggies. Rinse the snow peas and mushrooms, and thinly slice the bell pepper and shallot. Zest the lime and slice the scallion, and set those aside.
- Place the rice noodles in a large bowl or dish, trying not to break them as much as possible. Pour boiling water over the rice noodles until they're completely covered. Let the noodles soak 5-7 minutes or until they're tender, but not "done" (think al dente... they'll finish cooking in the wok).
- While that's happening, preheat your wok over medium-high heat and make the sauce. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Whisk all the ingredients together and set aside.
- When the wok is hot, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to it. When the oil looks glossy, toss in your veggies (saving the scallions). Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly tender.
- Add the rice noodles and the sauce and cook another 5-7 minutes until the noodle are completely cooked through and the flavors have blended. Squeeze in the lime juice and give everything another toss to bring everything together. Top with scallions and serve!
Notes
Try adding crushed peanuts or cashews for an extra kick of flavor.
