A quick and easy vegan recipe featuring creamy peanut noodles, perfect for busy weeknights or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 23 tablespoons warm water
  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions (usually about 4-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sriracha, lime juice, and warm water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
  3. Add the shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and scallions to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and gently toss until the noodles are fully coated with the peanut sauce.
  5. Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, peanuts, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
  6. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. Enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice to loosen it up. Prep veggies ahead of time to save time during assembly.
