Cilantro Peanut Noodles

Are you looking for new summer recipe ideas? Here’s my quick n’ super easy recipe for Cilantro Peanut Noodles! This dish is one of my favorite 20 minute weeknight meals because while it’s fast to make, it’s also so healthy and delicious. I know you’re going to absolutely love it!!

This recipe is a vegan noodle dish, but you can always add your favorite protein (this can be a great shredded chicken dinner idea). Also, you can make this completely GLUTEN FREE by substituting the Soy Sauce in the noodle dressing for Tamari, and using 100% pure buckwheat soba noodles.

The dressing for the noodles is packed with flavor and it is made even better by the fact that you can use this same dressing on salads, as a marinade, or as a yummy dipping sauce for potstickers.

This dish is such a light, yet insanely flavorful way of enjoying peanut noodles. It’s really a crowd pleaser at summer get-togethers, or can be enjoyed as quick and tasty lunch. It’s best to have this dish fresh, but it will keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

did you know…

that too much cilantro can give you crazy gas?! Having more than 200g of cilantro can seriously upset your stomach (gas, bloating, cramps, etc.), so eat this dish sparingly…trust me, too much of a good thing can also hurt you! I learned the hard way lol! Just thought I’d share this interesting fact, friends…anyway, Happy Cooking!
