Ingredients

    The Salad

    • rice ramen noodles, 4 blocks dried
    • cucumber, 1 medium chopped into small pieces
    • carrot shreds, ¾ cup or some more
    • fresh cilantro, a handful chopped
    • peanuts, ¼ cup coarsely chopped

    The Dressing

    • peanut butter, 2 tbsp
    • coconut aminos or soy sauce, 3 tbsp
    • rice vinegar, 2 tbsp
    • sesame oil, 1 tsp
    • honey or brown sugar, 1 tbsp
    • lime, 1 whole or half juiced
    • fresh garlic, 1 clove minced
    • fresh ginger, 1 cloved minced

    Plant Protein Suggestion:

    • edamame
    • tofu

    Directions

    1. Cook the noodles in a medium sized pot according to the package instruction with broth or water. (Miso broth is great for this, too.)

    2. Drain & rinse the noodles with cold water. (If the noodles you have used are not pre-cut in short pieces, cut them into 2 or 3 inch pieces, and set aside)

    3. For the dressing, add all ingredients to a blender and blend. Taste test and adjust, or add liquid to make a creamier consistency like more broth or water.

    4. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, add the noodles, and protein if using, plus anything else to complete this meal.

    5. Pour in the salad dressing & toss until all ingredients are fully coated.

    6. Best served chilled, divide large bowl into thirds for easy prep.
