Vegan Green Creamy Peanut Udon Noodles
Vegan Green Creamy Peanut Udon Noodles are made with healthy and simple ingredients, but these ingredients result in a delicious peanut buttery flavor that will leave you drooling with sauce down the sides of your mouth… SO good!
I made these a few weeks ago. Didn’t get any good pics but had to post because this recipe is too good not to share! I’m never selfish when it comes to sharing food, only in other facets of my life. 😉 Anyway, my kiddo and I were ‘chefin’ it up in the kitchen, and as per usual, I was trying to avoid spillage and contamination of the sauce. Epic fail I might add. The word “no” seems to fall on ears that participate in active selective hearing or out right deafness. Sigh… However, he’s so f’ing cute that sometimes I don’t give a shit. I pretend that I do, but I really just don’t. If you’re a parent, I’m sure you understand. If I chose to engage in every battle, I’d have bald patches on my head from pulling my hair out, wine red stained teeth from self-medicating with booze, and slurred speech – not from the vino, but rather, the Xanax. Permanent battle scars. LOL. It’s like the road’s divided. Thankfully, I just decided to take the more sane route, ’cause otherwise a crystal ball would totally show “alternate Heather” looking like the hot mess I just described above. Taking the sane and wise route? I’ve always massively sucked at this. Being a parent has made me a much better human being. Haha. 😉 Okay, back to the food. It’s just crazy freakin’ delish and you should eat it now. If you need to hide vegetables from your children in pureed form like I must do, I recommend this for your kiddo as well. Happy Thursday! MWAH! -FGG

Creamy Peanut Thai Noodles
Creamy Peanut Thai Noodles is my most favorite dish this summer. It’s right up there with my Crazy Creamy Pesto! I am a massive noodle lover, no doubt about that. Peanut noodles are always my fave and I have been perfecting this recipe forever! If ever there were a perfectly creamy and healthy noodle dish, this is it. Taking one for the win!
When I was living in China there was very little I could eat at Chinese restaurants. Din Tai Fung was my ultimate favorite place on the planet. One, because I could actually eat there. Two, because of their amazing dumplings, braised tofu, aaaand noodles! I have been on an epic quest to recreate those ‘noods’. In doing so, I concocted something I like even better! Score again! I make bucket loads of sauce and freeze the rest in small sized batches so that I can just take a meal-size out of the freezer when needed.
If you eat this and aren’t a sloppy hot mess, you’ve not enjoyed them properly. I wanna see sauce all over your pretty little face dripping down the noodles and your mouth. See G-man (below) doing just that. Hands and all! Now, go get your ‘noods’ on!
… getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha, getcha, your ‘noods’ on…
- 2 C raw and unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 C nutritional yeast
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 3-4 Tbl Braggs Aminos or soy sauce
- 1 Tbl sesame oil
- 1 Tbl agave or honey
- 1 Tbl lime juice (optional)
- Sprinkling of salt if needed (I do not use)
- 2 tsp ginger powder
- Water for texture
- Noodles (asian-think ramen)
- Boil noodles
- Place all other ingredients in a strong blender/processor (I use my Vitamix) and blend
- Very slowly add water for a thinner (not too thin!) texture as you blend
- Pour amount needed over noodles and you're done!
- Freeze extra sauce
