Напрямки

1. Chop veggies. Whisk sauce ingredients together

2. To a large pan on high medium-heat, add the oil and chopped veggies and cook for 10-ish minutes. I like to start with onions and mushrooms for 4 minutes, then add carrots and beans for 3 minutes, covering with a lid. Then add peppers and broccoli for 3 minutes, again covering.

3. While veggies are cooking, cook dried rice noodles in boiling water until desired texture.

4. Add chili peppers/flakes (optional), ginger, garlic, and brown sugar to veggies, cook 1-2 minutes, stirring.

5. Add rice noodles to veggie pan. Stir in suace and let simmer 5 minutes.

6. Remove pan from heat. Add basil and stir until basil just wilted. Serve immediately.

Optional Meat Directions: insert after step 1 above:

1. Chop meat and add to a large pan on medium-high heat (Pre-glaze pan with olive oil if cooking chicken).

2. Add ⅓ sauce and optional chili peppers/flakes, simmer until just cooked.

3. Resume regular directions at step 2, adding veggies to meat pan.
