Peanut Coconut Noodles Recipe


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a wok or large, deep skillet heat the coconut oil over a medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté, stirring, for 3-5 minutes, add the curry paste and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the coconut milk, peanut butter and soy sauce. Use a whisk to dissolve the peanut butter. Simmer for about 7-8 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Add the vegetables to the wok and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes (depending on preference; I like mine al dente, with some crunch).
  3. In the meantime, cook the noodles until al dente (according to package instructions). Drain, rinse and set aside.
  4. Stir in the lime juice and add the noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
  5. Transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves. Enjoy while warm!
