Peanut Noodles with Stir Fried Veggies

January 20, 2014

This is another tasty meal that I got out of last week’s Sunday Meal Prep. I was able to prep the shredded carrots, chopped bell pepper, and broccoli ahead of time which made whipping up this meal really easy!

I used brown rice noodles that I got from Whole Foods, but you can use linguini or any other type of long noodle that you like.

I sautéed broccoli, shredded carrots, and bell pepper in sesame oil until soft, then boiled the noodles. The sauce has garlic, agave nectar (you can use honey), Sriracha, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. It’s super easy to make—add all the ingredients together in a food processor and puree, then add warm water until it’s smooth. When the veggies are soft, noodles are done, just add everything in with the sauce and stir until combined. Crushed peanuts on top add some crunch!

My boyfriend and I both brought this for lunch to work the next day, and we both had people walking by saying “That smells so awesome!”. The sauce is sweet, savory, peanut-buttery and a little spicy. Perfect for that Thai food craving, with added veggies.

Here’s the recipe for peanut noodles.
