Ingredients
  

8 oz rice noodles

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, finely grated

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced into strips

1 zucchini, julienned

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

3 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain them and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set them aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce (or hoisin for a vegetarian option), sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup), and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk the mixture until well combined and set aside for later.

      Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds, allowing the mixture to become fragrant without burning the garlic.

        Add Vegetables: Next, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, zucchini, snap peas, sliced mushrooms, and julienned carrot to the skillet. Stir fry these colorful veggies for around 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender yet still crisp.

          Combine Noodles and Sauce: Carefully add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet along with the prepared sauce. Using tongs or a spatula, toss everything together to ensure the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, allowing the dish to heat through and the sauces to slightly thicken.

            Finishing Touches: Once the stir fry is heated thoroughly, remove it from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Give the mixture one last toss to incorporate.

              Serve: Transfer the sticky ginger garlic noodle stir fry into serving bowls. For an attractive finish, sprinkle sesame seeds on top and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

                Enjoy your deliciously sticky and flavorful dish!
