Ingredients
  

Group: Noodles
  • 8 ounces rice noodles
Group: Shrimp and Seasonings
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
Group: Vegetables
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Equipment

  • Cast-iron skillet

Method
 

  1. Start off by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Soak them in hot tap water for about 15 minutes until they're tender yet firm. Drain and set them aside.
  2. In my trusty cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, stir until aromatic—about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the shrimp to the hot pan, season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Toss in the sliced bell pepper, broccoli florets, and snap peas. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables brighten.
  5. Add the drained noodles back into the skillet. Drizzle in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, and toss to combine.
  6. Plate the stir fry and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
