Hey look, my blog. Guess I should post something, huh? Okay, today we have....lunch. This dish was inspired by something I paid too much for considering it's mostly noodles. It is also something vegetarian-ish that my 16 year old son will happily gobble up without complaint. For the most part, it is also gluten/wheat free. I don't really use exact measurements with this, and it's something I could eat almost every day.


I start with about 1/4 cup water and a bit of broth, heating up. I had chicken broth, but feel free to use vegetable broth or even plain water if you'd like here.

To that I added two of my regular old teaspoons of honey

Then add one teaspoon of soy sauce (note the Tamari soy sauce pictured is NOT the gluten/wheat free version)

And, I like it spicy, so I add two spoons of the sriracha hot sauce. Adjust this to taste, even including leaving it out altogether if you so desire.

Now is the important part. Two spoons of peaut butter. It doesn't have to be the same kind I use, and you can use creamy if that's what you have. You just gotta have peanut butter in the sauce.

I heat up a skillet and put a little oil in there

Before I add some fresh veggies to the skillet. I like using one carrot I cut into little matchsticks, and a tiny bit of broccoli. (Frozen broccoli also works well here) If you don't like carrots and broccoli, put in some other veggies you do like here.

I happened to have tofu, so that went in there, too. This is really good with chicken or shrimp too if you're not doing a vegetarian thing.

Now, when you first have the sauce, it looks weird. The peanut butter looks like egg drop soup or something, but just simmer it.

It'll start to come together. Just give it a stir every so often.

It'll look silky and lovely when it's ready.

When the sauce is ready, dump some rice noodles you've softened in boiling water on the veggies. (I went out on a limb here and figured y'all didn't need me to take photos of water boiling, then me adding packaged noodles. Back me up here, okay?)

Pour the sauce over the noodles, and lightly toss to coat them with sauce.

I put it in a bowl, and top with fresh cilantro and lime wedge.

Hope you like it as much as I do.
