Rainbow Rice Noodles

RECIPE BY ALEXANDRA PASKA OF @PLANTBASED.TRAVELER

Rainbow Rice Noodles-A simply combination of rice noodles, mixed veggies, and a sweet ‘n spicy peanut dressing!

Ingredients

• 1 large bowl
• 1 serving of rice noodles 
• About 2 cups of mixed veggies (I used rainbow carrots, scallions, peas, corn, shelled edamame) 

Sauce: 

• 1 heaping tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) 
• Juice of a 1 small lime
• 1 tbsp maple syrup 
• 1-2 tbsp coconut aminos (to taste) 
• 1/2 tbsp (or more) chili crisp * 
• A few tbsp of hot water 

Optional toppings:

• Chopped roasted peanuts and cilantro
• More chili crisp 

Method:

• Prepare noodles according to package directions. If using frozen corn,peas or edamame simply add them to the boiling noodles the last couple of minutes to heat them up! 
• In the meantime slice carrots, scallion or the vegetables you’re using. 
• Whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, lime juice, coconut aminos, chili crisp and a few tbsp of the hot noodle water. 
• Drain and rinse noodles, then sauté carrots and scallions for a 1-2 minutes (I like to keep them firm). You can skip this step and add them raw, depending on preference and which veggies you’re using. 
• Mix the noodles with your sauce and veggies, top with more chopped peanuts, cilantro, extra chili crisp, and enjoy! 
• *If you don’t have chili crisp you could sub a drizzle of chili oil and/or chili flakes, sambal oelek, or sriracha
