Noodles With Broccoli and Peanut Sauce (Vegan and Gluten-Free)
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 12
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 large bunch broccoli (3/4 to 1 pound)
- 2 (8 ounce) packages shirataki noodles
- 3⁄4 cup natural-style peanut butter
- 1⁄2 cup hot water
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegan worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed in garlic press
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar (or more to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
- crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- fresh cilantro (optional)
directions
- Chop broccoli into bite-size pieces and steam 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp.
- Drain and rinse shirataki. It will smell a little funky at this point. Microwave the noodles for 1 minute and drain well a second time (or else the sauce will get watered down too much).
- In a bowl large enough to hold the noodles and broccoli, whisk together the peanut butter and hot water until smooth. Add soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, agave, and cayenne. Taste and adjust the balance of sweet and hot flavors to your liking.
- Toss the noodles and broccoli into the sauce. Serve with peanuts, red pepper, and cilantro for garnishing, if desired.

Instead of shirataki noodles, I used rice noodles and didn't have any Worc. I used garlic powder and just a sprinkle of cayenne. I served with a miso chicken recipe I just tried and it was a spicy meal! We are going wheatless and gluten-free, so this is great! I didn't really measure the broccoli or noodles (just took a pack of noodles) and it made plenty. Made for Veg@n Swap 8-09.

I'm a grad student and also teach at two different schools, so I need some fast/easy recipes. I try to eat vegan, and most of my creations are also gluten-free because my husband is Diabetic/Celiac. I don't post any recipes I have not personally tried and liked.
