Almond butter noodles
by Jeanette Grosman Pacanowski

Notes

You can serve this as a side dish when entertaining, or add any protein you like on top for a weeknight meal. It can also be enjoyed as a cold noodle salad for lunch!

This makes 1 serving but can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.

Ingredients

  • ~4 oz. of your favorite noodles (rice noodles would be best for the Asian kick, but I personally love this with whole grain spaghetti)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup almond butter (or other nut butter); one without added sugar or oil is best (if yours has added sugar, you may want to omit the sweetener below)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp liquid sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave)
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1-2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (powdered ginger is fine too)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

 

Method

  1. Cook the noodles as directed.
  2. Whisk all remaining ingredients together until it makes a thick sauce. When adding the water, add a half tablespoon at a time until you reach desired consistency (I like to use 1.5 tbsp).
  3. Pour the sauce over the noodles, and garnish with sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, and/or green onions!
