A delicious stir-fried dish featuring flat rice noodles, your choice of protein, and fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz flat rice noodles
  • 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, or tofu)
  • 1 cup fresh bell peppers (sliced)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tbsp tamarind paste
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (dark brown preferred)
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes until softened but still firm. Drain well.

  4. Push ingredients to one side of the pan; crack in eggs and scramble until just set.
