Ingredients for 4-6 servings:
- 1 package (250g) wide rice noodles
- 1 package of sugar snap peas
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 200 grams of ground beef
- 2 tablespoons of oil
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons fish/soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons lemon/lime juice
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of sesame oil
For serving: Chopped cilantro
Method:
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Blanch the sugar snap peas in boiling water for two minutes, drain and immediately transfer to a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking. Soak for a minute and drain again.
Cook the rice noodles according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a hot oiled pan, fry the meat while separating it with a wooden spoon until it gets lighter in color; add the sugar snap peas, tomatoes and rice noodles. Drizzle the sauce over everything and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve.
- Variations: the ground beef can be replaced with chicken breast cubes/ cubes of tofu/ cubes of baked or fried eggplant.
