Ingredients
For The Vermicelli Stir Fry
- 7 oz (200 g) dried rice Vermicelli (aka "mung bean" noodles)
- 2 tbsp (15 ml) peanut oil (or vegetable, canola, sunflower oil)
- 1 large onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 cups (500 g) shredded cabbage (this would be a little over 1 lb of cabbage)
- 1 cup (110 g) shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)
For The Homemade Stir Fry Sauce
- 1 cup (250 ml) water
- 6 tbsp (95 ml) soy sauce (use GF soy-sauce for GF eaters)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 3 tbsp (35 g) brown sugar (or white sugar)
- 2 and 1/2 tbsp (25 g) cornstarch
Instructions
- Soak the Vermicelli. Fill a large bowl with room temperature water, add in the Vermicelli, and let it soak for 2-5 minutes. The Vermicelli should be soft and springy but not limp. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the stir-fry sauce. In a medium bowl, add the water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Saute the onion and garlic. In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add the peanut oil. Heat the oil until hot, then add in the diced onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and saute for another 1-2 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
- Stir-Fry. Add in the shredded cabbage and carrots, mix and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until soft but not completely wilted. Add in the Vermicelli and mix, then immediately pour in the stir-fry sauce, mix and cover with a lid. Steam for 3-5 minutes, then remove the lid and turn off the heat. Serve immediately! Top with sweet chili sauce, fresh spring onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.
