Spicy Almond Butter NoodlesIngredients

  • 8 oz rice noodles or your favorite noodle of choice
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired texture.

  5. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, spicy flavors of the almond butter sauce combined with the freshness of the vegetables!
