Healthy Asian Peanut Noodles! The quickest noodle dish you could ever whip up in less than 30 minutes. Full of veggies and the absolute BEST peanut sauce! Vegetarian and gluten free.
I may not be a connoisseur of fancy things like cheese or wine but I would consider myself a connoisseur of all the different foods you can add peanut butter to….. however I strongly believe that peanut butter can and should be added to just about anything so it’s not exactly a struggle 😜. Have you ever tried a really tasty peanut sauce?? I gotta say there’s really nothing better, it will really give that fancy wine a run for its money. Or better yet make these Healthy Asian Peanut Noodles to eat alongside a glass of wine… that’s what I would call the best of both worlds! This vegetarian noodle dish is so delicious and comes together in about 15 minutes top. Now that’s what I would call the perfect weeknight meal!
