Cooking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Cook the Rice Noodles - Begin by boiling a large pot of water. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes until tender. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables - In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the halved cremini mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Step 3: Add More Veggies - Next, toss in the red pepper strips and snow peas. Continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: Mix in the Aromatics - Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Create the Sauce - In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this sauce over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well to combine.
  6. Step 6: Combine with Noodles - Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Garnish - Serve your Vegan Rice Noodles hot, garnished with fresh scallions. Enjoy the colorful, flavorful bowl of goodness!
