Ingredients

• 8 ounce thin wheat noodles
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 carrots (medium, julienned or thinly sliced)
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup snap pea
• 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the thin wheat noodles and cook according to package directions, typically 3-4 minutes, until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the julienned carrots and thinly sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
4. Add the snap peas to the skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until bright green.
5. Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes to ensure the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated and heated through.
6. Stir in the sliced green onions. Remove from heat.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.

Notes

Customize with your favorite quick-cooking vegetables like sliced cabbage or broccoli florets. For a touch of heat, add a pinch of red chili flakes with the sauce.
