Fried Rice Noodles

30 minutes
Fried rice noodles are a vibrant dish of Chinese cuisine that combines delicate textures and rich aromas. The origins of this recipe trace back to ancient China, where noodles symbolized longevity and prosperity. Here, rice noodles form the basis of a harmonious balance of flavors – the sweet-umami soy sauce, the spiciness of sriracha sauce, and the freshness of seasonal vegetables. A light omelet adds airiness to the dish, while garlic, asparagus, and green peas contribute a crunchy texture. It's important to cook the noodles properly – not overcook them so they retain their firmness. This dish is perfect for both a light dinner and a festive table where it delights guests with its sophistication and rich flavor.
