I strongly believe that everyone needs a stir fry noodle dish in their repertoire. It always makes for a quick meal and it’s just as great for clearing out the odds and ends in the fridge like fried rice. You can take the same sauce and apply it to any assortment of noodles, meat and vegetables. The possibilities are endless so don’t constrict yourself.

I really love this type of thick vermicelli noodles. You may also find it called “lai fun’ or rice spaghetti. The thickness of the noodle is very similar to spaghetti but since it’s made with rice flour, it has more of a slippery silky texture. I find that the rice noodles absorb and hold the sauce very well.
