- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 12 oz rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 carrots julienned
- 4 green onions chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically for about 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, prepare your vegetables: slice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the bell pepper, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions.
- In a wok or large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and garlic, and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and carrots to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Lower the heat to medium, and add the cooked rice noodles to the pan. Pour in the soy sauce, chili sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes until evenly combined and heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top.
- Serve your spicy stir-fried rice noodles hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
