Instructions
Step 1
Cook noodles of choice in salted water until al dente (do not overcook them).
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet or wok and sauté ginger and garlic over medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms, carrot, red pepper, zucchini, and spices and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the veggies are softened, stirring frequently. You can add a splash of water or veggie broth to avoid burning.
Step 3
To make the sauce, simply add all sauce ingredients (vegetable broth, tamari, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes) to a medium bowl and stir with a whisk. Alternatively, add the sauce ingredients to a mason jar (with a lid) and shake it.
Step 4
Pour the sauce into the pan/wok with the veggies and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let simmer for about 1 minute.
Step 5
Add the drained noodles and toss to combine. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, taste it and adjust seasonings by adding more salt/pepper/tamari/sweetener, etc. if needed. If you like it creamier, add a few spoons of peanut butter! (By the way this is optional)
Step 6
Garnish with green onions/scallions, Thai chillies(optional) and sesame seeds, serve, and enjoy! Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
