Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces black bean noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, spiralized or julienned
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the black bean noodles, and cook according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red and yellow bell peppers, spiralized zucchini, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and honey.
Add the cooked black bean noodles to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables, tossing well to evenly coat all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions, cilantro, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.
Serve the noodles hot, garnished with chopped unsalted peanuts and additional cilantro if desired.
