Coco Nut Butter Veggie Rice Noodles
Ingredients
- 8 ounces of rice noodles of choice, cooked as directed, rinsed and drained
- 1 shallot or small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 inch of ginger, peeled and finely chopped (or minced)
- 3-4 mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 cups of broccoli florets
- 2 cups of chopped spinach
- Other nice veggies to use: cauliflower, sliced zucchini, sliced cabbage
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 2 Tablespoons of nut butter of choice (peanut, almond, sunflower, cashew all work well)
- 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
- 1 Tablespoon of sweetener of choice, agave, sugar, etc (or leave out)
- 1 Tablespoon of rice vinegar (or any vinegar, or lemon or lime juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 cup of cilantro or fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook rice noodles as directed, drain and rinse well to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- In a deep skillet, sauté onion, garlic and ginger over medium low heat for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn garlic. Add sliced veggies of choice (carrots and mushrooms first, if using, then broccoli, and spinach last) and stir. Let cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and stir to incorporate. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until veggies start to soften. In a small bowl, combine nut butter with just enough warm water to loosen, stirring with a fork until it becomes thin and creamy.
- Add nut butter mixture, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, turmeric, salt and black pepper to veggies and stir well to combine. Season to taste and add rice noodles. (If pan is too shallow or not large enough, transfer everything to a large mixing bowl and combine in there). Toss well with veggies and sauce, tongs are great for this. Add fresh herbs if using and toss again. Serve immediately and enjoy!
