CARROT NOODLES IN PEANUT SAUCE

If it's possible to be addicted to noodles, than I nominate myself to be President of Noodleaholics Anonymous. Lately I've been noodlizing (yep, made that word up myself) every vegetable I can get my happy little paws on. And carrot noodles have been a fast favorite.  Add a peanut sauce, some fresh lime juice, maybe a little heat with red pepper flakes or Siracha and you have a noodleaholics crack.  No shame in my game, because these kind of noodles are pumped full of vitamins, anti-oxidants and other goodness that punch cancer and heart disease in the face.  100% HEALTHY NOODLES MY FRIENDS!  So have at them.  xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

 

 

CARROT NOODLES IN PEANUT SAUCE

 

INGREDIENTS:

5 medium/large carrots

3 green onions (plus another to garnish if you'd like)

2 garlic cloves, pressed

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced ginger

3 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter

1 tablespoon of Ponzu

1/2-1 tablespoon maple syrup (to taste)

4 tablespoons of water

sea salt

creaked black pepper

red pepper flakes or siracha (optional)

black sesame seeds (optional)

 

METHOD: 

- Using a julienne peeler (the greatest tool known to mankind) peel your carrots into noodles and set aside.

- In a small mixing bowl combine peanut butter, Ponzu, maple syrup, 1/2 of minced garlic and a pinch of salt.  Add water, one tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce (I used 4 tablespoons).  Add more salt to taste, adjust maple syrup amount to your taste preference as well.  Set aside.

- Saute remaining garlic and ginger in sesame oil over medium-low heat for two minutes.

- Add green onion and sauté until slightly softened, stirring often to make sure the garlic and ginger don't burn.

- Add carrots and cook, stirring the entire time, until softened to your preference (I like mine a little crunchy, only slightly softened)

- Add peanut sauce. This recipe makes more than enough peanut sauce for my preference, but you know, different strokes for different folks, so add as much as you like and thoroughly combine.  Garnish with thinly slices green onions and black sesame seeds.  Add a squeeze of lime if you'd like, or some red pepper or siracha.  Whatever makes your mouth happiest. Serve hot and enjoy!

I recently found your awesome blog through instagram. I am totally loving everything about A House in the Hills. I really empathized with your struggle with Crohn's. I am similar in that I am finding ways through eating right to take care of myself as well. In any event, I'm a fan, and I look forward to future posts!

This looks like the greatest carrot salad ever, crossed with satay, crossed with noodles! So that's three times the win!
