Spicy Garlic Asian Noodles (Vegan) are one of my go-to meals for a few simple reasons: easiness, quickness, and deliciousness! They’re perfectly spicy, garlicky, and topped with 2 of my 3 most favorite veggies! Mushrooms & broccoli (spinach being the 3rd). I love leftovers as much as the next gal but I have had SO very many Thanksgiving leftovers that I’m ready to explode… seriously. I needed something easy and totally different than my T-day menu so I whipped up an oldie but a goodie: Spicy Garlic Asian Noodles (Vegan). Also, I’m a massive lover of all things noodles – Italian or Asian. I don’t discriminate. 😉
This slurp worthy dish is smothered in garlic, hot pepper, sesame, broccoli, and shrooms for your next noodle love affair. Noodle love affairs are some of my favorite love affairs. 😉 Although, I think my belly would disagree with the sheer volume of carbs I’ve consumed over the past week. It’s obscene and my wardrobe, once again, is suffering from a lack of vitamin D, as they’ve yet to see some outside sun because, well, the carb bloat this past week has been reeeaalll. Time for some serious yoga and Jillian Michael’s over the next month. Back to business so I can slurp up delicious noodles guilt free. Anyway, enough about my belly and more about this dish. It’s simple: It’s crazy delicious. Enjoy responsibly with yoga. Namaste, friends. MWAH! 😉
