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.

Notes

The cooled leftovers will keep well in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days!
