Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha, and warm water until smooth and creamy. Add more water if sauce is too thick.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shredded carrots and purple cabbage. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

  4. 4

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add edamame and cook for 1 minute until warmed through.

  6. 6

    Add the drained rice noodles to the pan. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles.

  7. 7

    Toss everything vigorously with tongs or a large spoon until noodles are fully coated in the sauce and heated through.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat. Add green onions and half the cilantro. Toss to combine.

  9. 9

    Serve in bowls. Top with chopped peanuts and remaining fresh cilantro. Add extra sriracha and lime wedges on the side.

    These noodles are delicious warm but equally amazing cold as a next-day lunch.

Pro Tips

💡

Dissolve the peanut butter in warm water or broth first - it mixes much smoother without lumps.

💡

Rice noodles can get sticky if overcooked - follow package directions and rinse under cold water immediately after draining.

💡

Add a splash of coconut milk for an even creamier sauce.
