Ingredients

Scale

Noodles and Vegetables

  • 10 oz rice noodles
  • 1 large carrot, chopped into coins
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large red onion, diced
  • 1 cup green peas

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions, which generally takes about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped carrot coins, minced garlic, and diced red onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  3. Make the sauce: Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir thoroughly until all sauce ingredients are fully combined into a creamy mixture.
  4. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the drained noodles and green peas into the pan. Stir vigorously to coat all the noodles evenly with the peanut sauce and heat through. Serve immediately once everything is well combined and heated.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.
  • Use gluten-free tamari soy sauce if you need the dish to be gluten-free.
  • Swap green peas for snap peas or broccoli for variation and extra crunch.
  • Peanut butter smoothness affects sauce texture; natural peanut butter works best for creaminess.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
