Helpful Tips
- Use a wok for the best results. It heats up evenly and gives the noodles a great texture.
- Don’t overcook the veggies—they should be slightly crunchy for the best taste.
- If the noodles start sticking, add a splash of vegetable broth to loosen them up.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
- Want protein? Add tofu, shrimp, or chicken to make it more filling.

How Do You Serve the Recipe?
I like serving these noodles in a deep bowl with chopsticks. If you’re not a fan of chopsticks, a fork works just fine. A squeeze of lime on top takes it to another level.

Storage
Short-Term Storage (Room Temperature)
- If you plan to eat the noodles within a few hours, keep them in a covered bowl. Avoid leaving them out for more than 2 hours.
Refrigeration
- Store the noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a little water or oil to loosen them up.
Freezing
- Freezing is not recommended as rice noodles tend to become mushy when thawed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, just use tamari instead of soy sauce and check that your oyster sauce (or hoisin) is gluten-free.
Can I add meat to this dish?
Absolutely. Chicken, shrimp, or even beef work well. Just cook them first before adding the veggies.
Why are my noodles sticking together?
Rice noodles can be tricky. Make sure not to over-soak them and toss them with a little oil before adding to the wok.
Can I make this less spicy?
Yes, just skip the red pepper flakes and reduce the curry powder if you want a milder flavor.
How do I make this a full meal?
You can add a protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp. Pairing it with a side of spring rolls also makes it more filling.
