- 4 ounces brown rice noodles
- 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 small zucchini chopped
- 1 10.5 ounce bag stir fry vegetables of your choice {I used one that had broccoli cabbage, bok choy and snap peas}
- ¼ cup creamy almond butter
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon {or more} sriracha
- 2-4 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup sliced scallions/green onions
- Optional: Crushed almonds for garnish
Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat and add the brown rice noodles. Let them soak for about 5 minutes or according to package instructions until softened. Drain liquid before using.
Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a wok or a large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini and cook for about 2 minutes or until starting to soften.
Add stir fry vegetables of your choice and cook, stirring often for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables become tender-crisp.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the almond butter, soy sauce and sriracha and stir to evenly distribute and coat the vegetables.
Add the cooked brown rice noodles to the pan and stir into the vegetable mixture, tossing to coat the noodles in the sauce. Depending on the desired consistency, add 2-4 tablespoons of water {one tablespoon at a time} to loosen the sauce which will thicken a bit.
Cook for another minute just to heat through, then serve with scallions and crushed almonds sprinkled over the top if desired.
Variations:
- Swap out your veggies! Experiment with your favorites or vegetables you don't eat often.
- Use peanut butter or cashew butter instead of almond butter. (You may also use sun butter if you have nut allergies.)
- Make it spicier! Try adding a sprinkle of cayenne or a little gochujang.
- Try other types of noodles such as udon or ramen noodles.
