Spicy Almond Butter Noodles

This dish pairs a creamy spicy almond sauce with rice noodles for the most delicious dinner! It’s super easy to make. Plus, it can easily be made gluten-free. We love it served with white rice and Maple Sriracha Tofu or Sweet and Sour Tofu.

Ingredients

If you have the following 8 ingredients on hand – get cooking!

• rice noodles
• chili infused oil (peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil – any will work in a pinch!)
• garlic (fresh or jarred minced works!)
• creamy almond butter (crunchy could work too!)
• soy sauce (sub tamari for gluten-free)
• brown sugar (maple syrup & agave also work well!)
• chili garlic sauce
• rice vinegar

How to make this simple dish

1. First, cook the rice noodles according to instructions on the package.
2. Then, heat the chili oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute.
3. Whisk in the rest of the ingredients.
4. Stir in noodles and serve topped with slivered almonds, sesame seeds and green onions, if desired!
