Easy Sweet & Sour Vegan Kung Pao Noodles
Ingredients
- Sauce Ingredients:
- ¼ cup/59ml reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon miso
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons molasses i used pomegranate molasses
- 1 teaspoon ginger freshly minced
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic about 4 to 5 cloves
- 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp chili flakes or powder
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- Other Ingredients:
- 1 red bell pepper cut into long thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper cut into long thin strips
- 1 medium red onion cut into long thin strips
- 2/3 to 1 cup peanuts optional
- 8 oz. Pad Thai brown rice noodles or similar style noodle/pasta like linguini, etc.
- Optional toppings:
- Chopped green onions scallions
- Chopped peanuts
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Crushed red pepper flake
Instructions
- Prep all the veggies as this recipe comes together fast.
- Place all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl and whisk well, then set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to package directions, drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
- In a large pot or a wok add the bell peppers and red onions, sauté over medium-high heat for approx. 5 to 7 minutes, just to slightly tender stage. Add a splash of water if they start to stick.
- Then move the veggies to the side of the dish and add the sauce mixture and cook until the sauce starts to caramelize and thicken (about 3 to 4 minutes – this will help remove the “cornstarch/thickener” flavor from the sauce), then fold in the peanuts, and cooked rice noodles. Gently fold until the mixture thickens and evenly coats all the noodles and peanuts.
- Serve immediately and top with your favorite toppers like some additional chopped peanuts, crushed red pepper flake, toasted sesame seeds.
