Let’s Breakdown the Ingredients!
With this recipe, I would not get hung up on the extract veggies I used. I would suggest using what you have on hand! While what vegetables you use is solely up to you, this sauce is full of flavour that really brings this recipe together.
The Sauce
This recipe gives you a punch of flavour with this sauce. The sauce is made from tons of flavouring liquids and have additional flavour from fresh ingredients.
The main ingredient in this sauce is natural peanut butter. Peanut butter is rich in omega-3, fibre, and protein, more than any other plant food. It also gives this quick and easy meal its wonderful peanut flavour!
The liquids used to make this sauce are sesame oil, soy sauce, sriracha, and rice wine vinegar. The sesame oil has a deep and rich nutty flavour that pairs well with the peanut butter flavour. Soy sauce is from fermented soybeans, which gives a mixture of sweet, salty, bitter and savoury flavour. Sriracha adds a bit of a spice to the recipe and the rice wine vinegar balances the flavour with a sweet and acidic taste.
The sauce also includes garlic, ginger and lime that adds tons of warm and citrus flavours to the recipe.

- Now, place a lightly oiled pan over high heat. Once temperature has been reached add in the peppers, onions, bean sprouts, green onions. Be sure to keep the vegetables moving with a spatula or by tossing in the pan. After about 2-4 minutes add in the drained noodles. Continue to toss and combine everything in the pan.
- Finally, pour in the sauce and mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Remove from heat.
- Divide noodles into bowls and garish each dish with bean sprouts, cilantro, and roasted cashews.. a couple chillies would be fun on here as well!
