When in doubt, when all else fails, when the cupboards are bare, when the fridge is overflowing…NOODLE BOWLS! Am I right?! YES. Yes I am! In all seriousness though, this bowl is a fresh treat for the winter months. And peanut sauce, well when you don’t think better is a possibility, it proves you wrong. Last but not least: this dish whips up in the time it takes to boil a pot of water and chop some veggies, making it the perfect weeknight dinner when you’re looking to get on with the evening and get out of the kitchen. Hope you love! xx- Sarah

I could live off of meals like this <3
Yummy Yummy!! I’m definitely saving this to my Pinterest! It looks beautiful too! =)
This is great Sarah! I love easy weeknight meals like this. I made a soba noodle soup version last night with all the veggies, plus kimchee and a poached egg. The black sesame seeds were a must on top of mine, too! Bon Appetit was my inspiration: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/brads-kimchi-veg-soup
Love this! But where do you buy your black sesame seeds? I can’t seem
To find them. Thank you!
I made this the other day, and it was so delicious!!! Thank you for sharing healthy, outside of the box meals! Side note: This is coming from someone who does not like to cook, but felt like a gourmet chef.
Hi, i love noodles and i love the recipe. In the past, i’ve made a warm noodle salad using glass noodles and they turned out really nice.. You should give it a try, I’m sure you’ll like it!
Vang Vieng is a backpackers’s top destination, followed
by Don Deth in Si Phan Don (4000 Islands).
There’s no lack of fine restaurants in Laos’ UNESCO World Heritage City of Luang Prabang.
So, travel to Laos and make the most of your holiday.
Is this something that I can bring to a potluck lunch? Do you think the noodles will stay/look fresh? My family is huge and every weekend we get together buffet style, very casual, very family. I love making noodle bowls/rice bowls at home, but I’ve never brought it to our family get togethers. What do you think? Any tips? Thanks!!! Love your stories 🙂
