Ingredients

1 package of rice noodles
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ of an red onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch of asparagus, thinly sliced
2-3 carrots, sliced into strips
1 ripe tomato, quartered (optional)
2 Tablespoons of soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
½ teaspoon of sea salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
½ cup of roasted unsalted peanuts, crushed
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons of toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Cook rice noodles as directed, drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside in large bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to skillet on medium high heat, add sliced onion and garlic and saute until onion is translucent and just starting to brown-2-3 minutes.
Add carrots, asparagus, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sugar, sea salt, and black pepper to pan and cook 2-3 minutes more until asparagus is bright green and carrots are tender. Add rice noodles back into pan and toss to re-warm.
Add remaining sesame oil and soy sauce, crushed peanuts, and black pepper as desired. Toss well to coat, and serve immediately topped with extra peanuts, and a side of lightly salted tomato, if desired.

Notes

Add freshly chopped cilantro, mint, parsley, or basil and make it shine even brighter. Feel free to experiment with the types of noodles and veggies used, but julienning the veggies really brings out their flavor and works perfectly with the taste and texture of the noodles.
