Chinese Peanut Noodles

These noodles were on my menu pretty much once a week when I first went vegan because they are easy to make and pretty tasty. :) You can eat them with a fresh, green salad on the side, or add cooked/ roasted veggies. For instance, roasted green asparagus is delicious with it!

Ingredients:

• 250g rice noodles
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/2 tsp fresh ginger (minced or grated)
• 2 tbsp sesame (or olive) oil

Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles until they are almost soft.
2. Whisk together 1 tbsp oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, tahini, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and ginger.
3. In a skillet, fry the noodles in 2 tbsp oil for 3-5 minutes or until noodles are soft.
4. Pour peanut sauce over noodles and fry for another minute. You can eat these warm or cold.
