Equipment: wok/skillet, strainer, tongs or chopsticks


Ingredients:

  • 4 oz dried wide rice noodles
  • 1½ tablespoons + 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 6 white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce

Directions:

  1. Cook dried noodles based on instructions listed on packaging. Rinse with cold water and drain. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to the noodles and gently mix through or toss.
  2. Heat up a wok or large skillet with ½ tablespoon of sesame oil. Add in 2 scrambled eggs and cook thoroughly.
  3. Add in the remaining 1½ tablespoons of sesame oil. Add in the broccoli, sliced white mushrooms, and red bell pepper. Stir and cook for approximately one minute or until the mushrooms begin to brown.
  4. Add in the garlic and ginger. Sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes and ground black pepper to taste. Stir and cook for approximately 30 seconds.
  5. Add the noodles and soy sauce. Gently toss a few times to mix, careful not to break the noodles.
  6. Add in the chopped scallions and cook for around 1 minute, just so the green onions become wilted.
