Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 package Yakisoba Stir Fry Noodles, cooked (17.76 oz.)*
- 1 cup frozen cooked shrimp, tail off, shell off, size: 91/110 (add more shrimp as desired)
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- green onions, garnish
For the Thai Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce, low sodium
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar (seasoned)
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 2 tsp. Sriracha
- 2 tsp. Chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles first and set aside.
- Make the Thai peanut sauce. Gather all ingredients and whisk together in a medium sized bowl. This recipe makes 1 cup Thai peanut sauce. Set aside. (*Note: the sauce is thick. Add a little water to it to thin it out, if desired).
- Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Once hot, add in carrots & bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. I like to add in about 1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce with the veggies too while they cook. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add in shrimp and cooked noodles and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Once shrimp is cooked, add in 1/2 cup sauce and peas. Start with 1/2 cup of sauce, and continue to add more sauce until the noodles are coated with as much sauce as you'd like.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and green onions. Enjoy!

Notes
- You can use rice noodles, ramen or even brown rice in place of the stir fry noodles. Follow the cooking directions on the package.
- Feel free to use different protein instead of shrimp: tofu or chicken are yummy options!
