Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 1 cup protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts (chopped)
  • 3 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Soak rice noodles in warm water for about 20 minutes until softened but still firm. Drain well.
  2. Prepare your protein by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the protein to the hot wok, cooking until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Toss sliced bell peppers into the wok and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened slightly. Add bean sprouts and stir-fry for an additional minute.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili powder until smooth. Pour this mixture into the wok with the veggies.
  6. Add drained noodles and cooked protein back into the wok. Toss gently but thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until everything is evenly coated in sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts and green onions.
