Sweet and Sour Vegetables Over Noodles with Toasted Sesame Oil
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rice noodles I used the thick rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 heaping tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce or to taste
  • 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil I use peanut or grapeseed oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 1 1-inch piece fresh ginger peeled
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus briefly steamed and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh scallions finely chopped
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts optional

Instructions

  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles and toss with the sesame oil and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the brown sugar and a generous pinch of salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter and Sriracha hot sauce.
  • Heat 2-3 tablespoon of the neutral oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering and hot. Add the garlic cloves and piece of ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, 10-12 seconds. Remove and discard. Add in the steamed asparagus pieces and stir fry 2-3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a bowl. Pour the eggs into the wok and scramble until softly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the asparagus. Add more oil if needed. Place the noodles in the wok, add the soy/vinegar mixture, and toss with tongs or a spatula until coated, about 1 minute or so. Add the eggs and vegetables back into the wok and toss until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and toss with the scallions, lime juice and peanuts, if using.
