Equipment

Wok or deep skillet
Bowl to soak noodles

Ingredients

200 g sweet potato vermicelli soaked in warm water for 20 minutes and drained
1 handful spinach large
1 red bell pepper sliced
1 yellow onion sliced
½ head broccoli chopped
1 cup carrots cut into matchsticks
1 cup frozen edamame or a block of cubed tofu, optional

Sauce:

2 cloves garlic minced
3 tbsp soya sauce
2 tbsp hoisin
1 lime juiced
⅓ cup water
1 tbsp sesame oil

To serve:

Sesame seeds
Green onion chopped

Instructions

First, prepare the glass noodles. I soak them in warm water for 20 minutes, and then rinse.
In a large wok or deep skillet, add the vermicelli noodles, spinach, bell pepper, yellow onion, broccoli and carrots. Next, add the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin, water and sesame oil. You can also add edamame or tofu at this time (if using).
Cover and place on a burner over medium heat for a few minutes. Then uncover, and mix until the noodles and vegetables are soft and warm, approximately 5 minutes. You can add more water as needed throughout the stir fry process to keep the noodles from sticking together.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion as desired. Taste and add more soy sauce or hoisin as needed.

Notes

It is up to you whether you want to add tofu, edamame, or even tempeh to increase the protein content of this recipe.

Even with quickies, you can still be scrappy! This recipe works with whatever vegetables you have on hand. Raid your fridge and freezer for mushrooms, snap peas, kimchi, corn and more!

Add chili flakes, sriracha, or chili oil if you want to make your glass noodle stir fry spicy.

Glass noodles come in many forms. You can use pea or bean starch noodles, or even something different like ramen or udon.
