Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 half-cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons water (to adjust sauce consistency)
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and water until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if needed.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a splash of sesame oil and sauté the julienned carrot and red bell pepper for 2–3 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything gently until well coated and heated through.
Remove from heat and transfer the noodles to serving plates. Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and crushed peanuts. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
