  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz. thin rice noodles
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 2 cups red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (and/or fresh basil)

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy, natural)
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger
  • Hot water to thin to desired consistency (about 1/2 cup)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped peanuts
  • Sesame seeds
  • Mung bean sprouts
  • Fresh mint
  • Sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the carrot, cucumber, red cabbage, and green onions. Roughly chop the cilantro, removing large stems. Set all the prepared vegetables aside for assembly.
  2. Cook noodles: Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, ensuring they are al dente — slightly firm but not mushy. Drain the noodles thoroughly once cooked.
  3. Make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup or brown sugar, tamari or soy sauce, lemon or lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat 3/4 cup of water to just under boiling, then gradually add the hot water to the mixture a couple of tablespoons at a time, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Usually, about 1/2 cup of hot water is needed.
  4. Assemble your bowl: In serving bowls, add a portion of the cooked rice noodles, then top with the sliced vegetables. Drizzle the peanut sauce generously over the bowl and garnish with any optional toppings such as chopped peanuts and sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh basil for cilantro or use a mix of both for varied flavor.
  • Adjust the consistency of the peanut sauce by adding less or more hot water as needed.
  • To make it spicier, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce or as a topping.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the tamari or soy sauce used is gluten-free.
  • This dish can be served immediately or chilled for a refreshing cold meal.
