Ingredients
- 200 g Noodles (Spaghetti or Rice Noodles)
- 1 cup Broccoli Florets
- 1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
- 1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
- 1/2 cup Edamame
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (smooth)
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 tsp Ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 Green Onions
Cook the Noodles
Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop the vegetables. Ensure the broccoli florets are bite-sized, the carrots are shredded or julienned, and the red bell pepper is thinly sliced.
Make the Peanut Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Stir-fry the Vegetables
Heat a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until they are tender-crisp. Add the edamame and stir-fry for another minute.
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables and toss to combine. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
