Ingredients

• 8 ounces Gluten-free rice noodles
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 0.33 cup Peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (or tamari for soy-free option)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Water (to thin the sauce as needed)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil (if using), and water. Adjust water gradually to reach your desired sauce consistency, ensuring it's creamy but pourable.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, combine the cooked noodles and broccoli. Pour the peanut sauce over the top and toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the noodles and broccoli into serving bowls, garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful vegan and gluten-free noodle dish!
