Ingredients



Ingredients:

  • 250g rice noodles

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 bell pepper, julienned

  • 1 carrot, julienned

  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded

  • 1 cup snow peas

  • 1 cup tofu, cubed

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional for added flavor)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Green onions, chopped for garnish

  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)




Preparation

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.

  3. Toss in the julienned bell pepper, carrot, shredded cabbage, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the cubed tofu to the empty space. Cook until the tofu is lightly browned on all sides.

  5. Combine the cooked rice noodles with the stir-fried vegetables and tofu in the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauces. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

  7. Transfer the vegetarian Pansit noodles to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.

  8. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor if desired.
