If you're looking for a simple veggie stir-fry with lots of flavor, this may be it. I love this dish, and I keep the ingredients on hand so I can make it when I don't have much else planned. There are a variety of vegetables, herbs, and spices in it, bringing together a great flavor, but flexible enough when you don't have all the ingredients on hand.
I don't usually eat white rice, but I can't seem to find thin, vermicelli-style noodles made with brown rice, or other wheat-substitutes that are gluten-free. So, this is a rare exception I make for white rice. Lately we haven't been having brown rice either (in grain or pasta form), since it is more challenging to digest (team support for my son) and we're laying low on the gluten-free grains as well. In any case, I find these thin rice noodles easy to digest, but if you're not eating grains, just omit the rice noodles from this recipe.
This one pan dish (well, one wok and one saucepan) takes me about 20 minutes to make, from prep to finish. I start boiling water for the rice noodles, and then prep the veggies. Sometimes I add a bit more or less of something in this dish, so feel free to add more of what you like, or less of what you want less of. You may also want to adjust the honey, soy sauce, or vinegar measurements, depending on your taste and how strong you like these flavors.
Tips To shred the veggies into thin strips, I use a julienne peeler, but you can also use a vegetable peeler or a food processor to shred them. I recommend buying organic veggies if you're leaving the skins on them when you julienne them.
And if you're looking for some great snack food, bean sprouts and shredded veggies are fun to munch on!

My kids loved this! Didn't even use noodles or rice, just the veggies with almonds on top for some protein. Thanks so much - I've been loving your site.
Erica says
Yes, that's what I do as well - just veggies 🙂 Thanks!

i use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce which is a great substitute for people that are sensitive to soy.

Mung bean noodles are great in a stir fry!!!

Delicious with all my favorite vegetables. You inspired me to cook this for dinner tonight, with soba noodles. Thank you!
Jesica says
This looks amazing! Glad I can use sea salt in place of the soy sauce, since I have a soy allergy as well!
Erica says
I have problems with soy as well, but not with wheat-free soy sauce, for some reason.

Hi Erica,
I make a lot stir fry dishes for dinner usually with what ever I have on hand as well. Have you ever tried tofu shirataki noodles? I use them frequently and I believe they are gluten free. You might have to research more to see if they are suitable for your diet if your not familiar with them already. They come in the vermicilles shape as well!

I hadn't heard of tofu shirataki noodles. We did try a tofu a few weeks ago, with luke warm response. I'll take a look at them. Thanks!
