Step-by-step
- Add rice noodles to a large bowl and cover completely with boiling water. Let cook for 5-10 minutes (or according to package instructions), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain and set aside.
- In the meantime, make the sauce by adding minced garlic, tamari or soy sauce, coconut sugar, and lime juice to a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You're going for a savory-tart sauce with a bit of sweetness (adjust to taste). Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the toasted sesame oil (1 Tbsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add snow peas, 1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce, and 2 tsp curry powder, and stir (amounts as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then remove from pan and set aside.
- To the still-hot skillet, add remaining sesame oil (1 Tbsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), cooked rice noodles, sauce, and remaining 2 tsp curry powder (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Sauté for 1 minute, tossing frequently with tongs to disperse sauce and curry powder.
- Add back in the vegetables and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, then remove from heat.
- Serve with desired toppings. This dish benefits greatly from a little hot sauce, such as Sriracha!
- Best when fresh, though leftovers keep for 2-3 days covered in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat.
