Easiest Yummy Peanut Noodles
These super easy peanut noodles are creamy and nutty with an accent of heat and sweet and kale. Whip them up in minutes!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 3 oz soba noodles
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- cayenne, a pinch or two should do it
- ½ - 1 teaspoon tamari, modify to taste (or sub with sea salt)
- ½ medium red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 handfuls of kale leaves, roughly chopped or torn
- topping: chopped peanuts, optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the soba noodles. Cook until tender, usually just 3-5 minutes. Verify time with package directions. Drain noodles and set aside in a medium bowl.
- In a small glass, stir together the maple syrup, tamari and peanut butter. Set aside.
- Warm a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil, onion and garlic. Saute for about two minutes, or until onion is tender.
- Add the peanut mixture to the noodles and gently toss to coat noodles. It is ok if it is slightly clumpy.
- Turn skillet heat to low. Add the peanut-coated noodles to the hot pan and toss with the onions and garlic. Fold in the kale to wilt.
- Do a taste test and add optional cayenne and salt or tamari to taste. Serve warm or chill in the fridge for later.
