  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded carrots or snap peas
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

  • ½ tsp sriracha or chili paste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  3. In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger for 1 minute.

Notes

  • Substitute tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • Use tamari for gluten-free adaptation.
  • Adjust spice level with more or less sriracha.
  • Add more broth if noodles seem dry when reheating leftovers.
