Ingredients

4 servings

For the noodles

6 oz dried rice vermicelli noodles

For the sauce

3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp white pepper
Ingredient note
White pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (less than 1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For the stir-fry

2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
7 oz extra-firm tofu, pressed and cut into ½-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups bean sprouts
3 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces (green parts only for lower fodmap)
Ingredient note
Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Can be omitted
red pepper flakes

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)
Can be omitted
lime

Instructions

1
Place the rice vermicelli in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 4–5 minutes, until the noodles are pliable and just tender but still have a slight chew. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water, and set aside.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, curry powder, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper until the curry powder is fully dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
