Set the noodles aside while you prepare the rest of the dish. In a large wok or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and a piece of grated ginger. Stir them for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 cup of chopped broccoli, and 1 julienned carrot. Stir-fry these for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright and tender, but still crunchy. Next, toss in 1 zucchini and 100g of snap peas. Cook for another 2 minutes until all veggies are tender-crisp. Reduce the heat slightly. Pour 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce over the veggies. If you like heat, add 1 teaspoon of chili paste now. Mix everything well so the vegetables are coated. Gently add the prepared rice noodles to your stir-fry. Toss everything together for about 2-3 minutes until heated through. Your vibrant veggie noodle stir-fry is almost ready!

Don’t forget to taste as you cook. This helps you adjust the flavors just right. To keep veggies crisp, use high heat. Start with a hot wok or pan. Stir-fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding. This ensures even cooking. Cook each type of vegetable for the right time. For example, broccoli needs about 3-4 minutes, while snap peas only take 2 minutes. This keeps their bright color and crunch. Always prep your ingredients before cooking. Chop veggies and measure sauces ahead of time. This makes cooking fast and easy. Use a good amount of oil to prevent sticking. Sesame oil adds great flavor. Stir constantly to cook evenly. Finally, serve your stir-fry hot for the best taste.

For chicken, slice it thin and cook it before the veggies. For shrimp, add them when the veggies are almost done. Tofu should be firm and cubed. Sauté it until golden brown for the best taste. Each option gives a boost to your meal. If you need gluten-free options, look for rice noodles labeled gluten-free. You can also swap soy sauce for tamari. For vegan protein, choose firm tofu or tempeh. Both options soak up flavors well. They make your stir-fry just as tasty. Always check labels to ensure they fit your dietary needs. Using seasonal vegetables adds fresh flavor and color. In spring, try asparagus and peas. Summer is perfect for bell peppers and zucchini. Fall brings butternut squash and kale. In winter, use carrots and brussels sprouts. Each season offers unique tastes. Mix and match to keep your dish exciting. Check the market for the freshest options.

Store it in the fridge for up to three days. Make sure to separate the noodles from the veggies if you want to keep them crisp. When reheating, use a pan or a microwave. For the pan, add a splash of water or oil. Heat it on medium until hot. If using a microwave, cover the dish and heat in short bursts. Stir often to avoid uneven heating. This keeps your meal tasty and avoids mushy veggies. You can freeze your stir-fry, but it's best to freeze the veggies and noodles separately. Cool them completely before packing them into freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible. They will stay good for about one month. When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating. This keeps the flavors fresh and vibrant. For the full recipe, check the Vibrant Veggie Noodle Stir-Fry section above. For stir-fry, rice noodles are a great choice. They soak up flavors well. I love using thin rice noodles. They cook quickly and add a nice texture. You can also use egg noodles or udon if you prefer. Just remember to cook them according to the package directions. Be sure to rinse them in cold water after cooking. This keeps them from sticking together. Yes, you can skip soy sauce if you want. Try using tamari for a gluten-free option. You can also use coconut aminos. These alternatives add flavor without soy. If you want a different taste, consider using vegetable broth or a mix of vinegar and spices. Experiment with flavors you enjoy to make it your own. Cooking vegetable stir-fry takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Start by heating your wok or pan over medium-high heat.

100g snap peas, ends trimmed

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon chili paste (optional for a spicy kick)

2 green onions, finely sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Noodles: Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until tender. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a spacious wok or a large frying pan, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the hot oil. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds or until they release a delightful aroma, being careful not to burn them.

        Add Veggies: Next, add the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and julienned carrot to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 3-4 minutes until they are bright and tender yet still maintain a slight crunch.

          Incorporate Zucchini and Snap Peas: Toss in the spiralized or sliced zucchini and trimmed snap peas, continuing to cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

            Mix in Sauces: Reduce the heat slightly, then pour the soy sauce and hoisin sauce over the vibrant mixture. If you enjoy a bit of heat, add the chili paste at this stage. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauces.

              Combine with Noodles: Gently add the prepared rice noodles to the stir-fry, carefully tossing them with the vegetables until everything is well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove the wok from heat. Garnish the colorful stir-fry with sliced green onions and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds for a delightful finish.
