Ingredients
- 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter (all natural)
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp tamari (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp minced fresh ginger
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 12 ounces shirataki noodles (two 7-ounce packages)
- 1 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1 medium green onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a glass measuring cup, whisk together peanut butter, toasted sesame oil, tamari, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth and combined.
- Drain shirataki noodles in a sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold water.
- Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add noodles and sauté for 3 minutes to remove excess moisture and improve texture.
- Pour in the sauce and stir to evenly coat the noodles.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onion and toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- Shirataki noodles have a strong odor when first opened — rinsing well and sautéing helps reduce it.
- For nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
