The use of nuts and seeds in Asian dishes can take the flavor to THE NEXT LEVEL. Especially when it is the base of a sauce!! That is why, I made up some PB+sesame noodles today. It is a recipe that you can fix up in a matter of minutes! And easily fit into your diet no matter what your goals are. Quite low in fat considering all the nuttiness… Very customizable as well.

Here is what you’ll need:

Ingredients

100g of noodles (I used egg noodles but you can use whatever)

20g of peanut butter crunchy or smooth both work

1 tsp of sesame oil

1 tbsp of soy sauce

juice of 1/4 lime

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tsp of dried chili flakes

1 clove of garlic

1 heaped tsp of grated ginger

150g of snow peas, or use vegetable of choice

Garnish:

1 spring onion, thinly sliced

0,5 red chili, thinly sliced

Toasted sesame seeds

Fresh coriander

Hot sauce for extra HEAAAT

Method

Cook your noodles as your packet tells you, and drain In a pan, combine peanut butter, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, vinegar and lime juice: Bring the pan to a low heat and stir through until you have a creamy sauce. You can add splashes of water if it’s too thick Spray a wok (or just a large pan) with cooking spray and add snow peas: Fry them on high heat for 20-30 seconds before adding the rest of the ingredients. Add noodles and peanut butter sauce and mix through: Keep tossing the wok until the sauce is mixed in and everything is hot, roughly an additional 1 minute and then we are ready to serve. Add everything to a bowl and garnish it off: Feel free to serve this with some protein like chicken, pork, beef, shrimp for extra protein. Perfectly great to eat on its own as well. Indulge!
