Summary

Vermicelli noodles are sometimes known as rice sticks or rice noodles.

What you'll need

• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 1/8 tsp. Oriental mustard powder
• 1/4 cup roasted red bell pepper, finely minced
• 1 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
• 8 oz vermicelli rice noodles
• 1/4 cup sesame oil, divided
• 1 tbsp. curry powder
• 1 tsp. turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp. low-sodium chicken bouillon powder
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
• 1 small red or sweet onion, thinly sliced
• 3 small cloves garlic, sliced
• 3 small shallots, sliced
• 1/2 cup broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup cauliflower florets
• 4 large carrots, peeled and shredded
• 1 cup thinly sliced napa cabbage
• 2 med red chilies, or to taste, seeded and minced
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tsp. honey (optional)
• 4 med scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

Instructions

• Step 1
  Add the pepper, mustard powder, bell pepper, and soy sauce to a small bowl and use a fork to mash and mix well. Set aside. Place noodles in lukewarm water to cover. Soak until soft, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Step 2
  Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the curry and turmeric and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the chicken base and stir to dissolve. Add the red pepper mixture and 1/2 cup water and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Step 3
  In a wok or large, deep nonstick saute pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and shallots and stir-fry until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Step 4
  Add the broccoli and cauliflower and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons water and stir. Add the carrots, cabbage, and chilies and cook until al dente, abut 2 minutes. Pus the vegetables to the side to make a well. Add the egg. Scramble until almost set, then incorporate into the other ingredients.
• Step 5
  Push the vegetables to the side and add the red pepper mixture. Bring to temperature, then mix thoroughly. Taste; if hotter than you prefer, add the honey to mellow the flavor. Add the noodles and toss to combine. Cook to heat through. Stir in the scallions. Serve immediately.
