Ingredients:

Serves Approximately 5 people

• 12 oz. Package of Japanese Thick Udon Noodles
• 1 Crown Broccoli
• 1 Green Bell Pepper
• 1 Large Carrot
• 1 Medium White Onion
• Fresh Cilantro

Peanut Sauce

• 1/2 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil
• 2 Tbsp. Sriracha Hot Sauce
• 1 Juiced Lime (with pulp)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
• 2 tsp. Fresh Ginger
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
• 2 tsp. Sesame Oil
• 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Tbsp. Crushed Peanuts

Directions:

1. Bring water in a medium pot to a boil.
2. Add in noodles and cook until al dente as directed. Be careful not to overcook the noodles or you may end up with a mushy texture when the sauce is added.
3. While the noodles are cooking, we’ll make the peanut sauce. In a large bowl, add peanut butter, soy sauce, and coconut oil – stir.
4. Mix in all remaining ingredients until you are left with a smooth sauce.
5. You may thin the sauce with warm water to your liking if it turns out too thick.
6. Cut up broccoli and steam for approximately 5 minutes.
7. Add sliced green pepper in with broccoli and steam for an additional 3 minutes.
8. Strain the water from your noodles and rinse lightly with cool water.
9. Slice onions and carrots and sautée until the onions start to become translucent (using a peeler can provide nice thin carrot slices).
10. Add in peanut sauce and veggies to the noodles over medium heat.
11. Stir together and heat for 5-7 minutes.
12. Top with crushed peanuts, garnish with cilantro, and enjoy!
