Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 lb prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  • Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
  • Add the bell peppers and snap peas, stir-frying for an additional 2 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  • Pour in the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce, stirring to coat the prawns and vegetables evenly.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are heated through and well coated with the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of chili flakes. You can substitute prawns with tofu for a vegetarian option.
