Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
5 tablespoons Water
8 ounces Rice Noodles
Optional Proteins (grilled shrimp or tofu)
1/4 cup Crushed Peanuts (for topping)
2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
2 tablespoons Spring Onions (finely sliced)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically about 4-6 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the noodles are cooking, grab a small bowl. Whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, lemon juice, and 5 tablespoons of water. Adjust the amount of water for desired sauce consistency.
Once the noodles are al dente, drain them and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained noodles and peanut sauce, tossing gently until fully coated.
If adding protein, fold it in gently. Plate your noodles and sprinkle with crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, and sliced spring onions.
Your dish is ready to serve! Enjoy the textures and flavors!
