Ingredients

Scale

For the Bowl:

  • 8 oz. thin rice noodles (or ramen, vermicelli, angel hair)
  • 1 large carrot (or 2 small), thinly sliced
  • 1 small cucumber (or ½ large), thinly sliced
  • 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced (about ¼ medium head)
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro (or basil)
  • Optional toppings: Chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, bean sprouts, fresh mint, sriracha

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 ½ Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger
  • Hot water (to thin sauce)

Instructions

Prepare the veggies: Thinly slice the carrot, cucumber, cabbage, and green onions. Chop cilantro and set aside.

Cook the noodles: Follow package directions, cooking until just al dente (slightly firm). Drain and set aside.

Make the peanut sauce: In a bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, tamari, lemon/lime juice, garlic, and ginger. Heat ¾ cup water until warm and slowly whisk into the sauce until smooth (about ½ cup of water works best).

Assemble your bowl: Add noodles and veggies to a bowl, drizzle with peanut sauce, and top with your favorite garnishes like peanuts or sesame seeds.

Notes

✔️ More protein? Add tofu, tempeh, or edamame.
✔️ Make it gluten-free: Use GF noodles and tamari.
✔️ For leftovers: Store noodles, veggies, and sauce separately in the fridge. Reheat the noodles, then add veggies and sauce.
