Ingredients
  

For the Noodles:

8 oz rice noodles

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for tossing)

For the Crunchy Veggies:

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper, julienned (any color)

1 cup edamame, shelled

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Optional: 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped (for garnish)

For the Peanut Sauce:

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1-2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust for spice level)

1-2 tablespoons warm water (to thin)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles:

    - Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually about 4-6 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss the noodles with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

      Prepare the Peanut Sauce:

        - In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and sriracha. Gradually add warm water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.

          Combine the Crunchy Veggies:

            - In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded carrots, red cabbage, bell pepper, edamame, green onions, and cilantro. Toss to combine.

              Assemble the Bowl:

                - Divide the cooked noodles among serving bowls. Top with the mixed crunchy veggies and drizzle generously with the peanut sauce.

                  Finish with Garnishes:

                    - Optionally, sprinkle the prepared bowls with chopped peanuts for added texture.

                      Serve and Enjoy:

                        - Toss everything together just before eating, ensuring the flavors meld. Serve immediately and enjoy your Peanut Noodle Crunch Bowl!
