Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz vermicelli noodles
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Slice bell pepper into thin strips and chop green onions.
- Fill a large pan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add vermicelli noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain noodles and set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Return drained vermicelli noodles to the pan with vegetables. Pour soy sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing gently to ensure even coating and heating.
- Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing noodles to absorb flavors and become slightly golden.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the fresh vegetables and aromatic noodles.
Tips
- Timing is crucial: Cook vermicelli noodles just until al dente to prevent them from becoming mushy. Watch them closely and test for doneness around the 3-4 minute mark.
- High heat is your friend: Use medium-high heat when stir-frying vegetables to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant colors.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Ensure vegetables have enough space to stir-fry properly, which helps them cook evenly and develop a slight caramelization.
- Customize your protein: Feel free to add chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make this a more substantial meal.
- Fresh is best: Use freshly chopped green onions and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds right before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Prep ingredients in advance: Chop all vegetables before starting to cook, making the actual cooking process smooth and stress-free.
