The Scoop
Curry-kissed noodles, crisp vegetables, and a little chili heat make this stir-fry anything but boring.
Rice vermicelli gets tossed with garlic, ginger, bok choy, carrots, bean sprouts, and green onions, then finished with soy and sesame oil for a fast, colorful dinner with plenty of texture.
