Instructions

  • Cook the noodles first and set aside.
  • Make the Thai peanut sauce. Gather all ingredients and whisk together in a medium sized bowl. This recipe makes 1 cup Thai peanut sauce. Set aside. (*Note: the sauce is thick. Add a little water to it to thin it out, if desired).
    1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy, 3 Tbsp. soy sauce, low sodium, 2 Tbsp. honey, 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar (seasoned), 2 Tbsp. lime juice, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1 Tbsp. sesame oil, 2 tsp. sriracha, 2 tsp. chili garlic sauce, 1/4 tsp. red pepper chili flakes (optional)
  • Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Once hot, add in carrots & bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. I like to add in about 1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce with the veggies too while they cook. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Add in shrimp and cooked noodles and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Once shrimp is cooked, add in 1/2 cup sauce and peas. Start with 1/2 cup of sauce, and continue to add more sauce until the noodles are coated with as much sauce as you'd like.

Notes

  • You can use rice noodles, ramen or even brown rice in place of the stir fry noodles. Follow the cooking directions on the package.
  • Feel free to use different protein instead of shrimp: tofu or chicken are yummy options!
