Everyone needs an easy vegan peanut butter noodles recipe up their sleeve for when life gets hectic and you need dinner on the table in minutes! Here’s mine. A sauce made with peanut butter, lime, tamari, coconut milk, and more is tossed with soba noodles and served with vegetables and protein of choice for a great weeknight meal.

How is your week going so far? I thought I would drop in with a recipe that’s much simpler than what I typically share, but one of my favourites for weeknights when we want something healthy and delicious on the table in a short amount of time. Saucy peanut butter noodles to the rescue! Cook up some soba noodles, toss them with salty-tangy-sweet peanut butter coconut sauce, top with an assortment of veggies and whichever protein you fancy (I love crispy baked tofu or soft-boiled eggs myself), and bam, you have yourself a nutrient-packed meal on the table in under 20 minutes.

I’ll keep this post short and sweet today- I mean, what does one really say about a simple and tasty bowl of peanut butter noodles? Ha. But I will be posting my perfected sweet potato brownies recipe on Friday, so you can look forward to that!

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

  • For the peanut sauce: Peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter), coconut milk, tamari, lime juice, ginger, maple syrup, and garlic.
  • For everything else: A combination of raw and steamed veggies, such as steamed broccoli and kale and raw julienned carrots and peppers, as well as an additional protein, such as baked tofu, tempeh, beans, or eggs, and soba noodles. I also love adding diced mango when I have some on hand.

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cook the soba noodles according to the directions on the package and steam the broccoli and kale, if desired.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, make the peanut sauce by blending the peanut butter, coconut milk, tamari, lime juice, ginger, maple syrup, and garlic together in an upright blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Either pour the sauce directly over the soba noodles, or serve up the noodles and allow everyone to drizzle on their desired amount. Top with the vegetables, protein of choice, and cilantro. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts, if desired.

notes

  • This recipe is really hard to mess up, so feel free to adjust seasonings as you like. If you enjoy a very tangy sauce, add more lime juice. If you want it saltier, add another tablespoon of tamari. If you’d like more spice, add some cayenne and additional ginger. Etc. etc.

Description

Everyone needs an easy vegan peanut butter noodles recipe up their sleeve for when life gets hectic and you need dinner on the table in minutes! Here’s mine. A sauce made with peanut butter, lime, tamari, coconut milk, and more is tossed with soba noodles and served with vegetables and protein of choice for a great weeknight meal.


Scale

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons tamari, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, plus more to taste
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • Cayenne or red pepper flakes, to taste

Everything Else

  • 11 ounces soba noodles (I used Eden Organic buckwheat and spelt soba noodles)
  • 1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets, or 1 bunch kale, roughly chopped (or a combination)
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 an English cucumber, thinly sliced, or 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Protein of choice (I love crispy baked tofu or soft-boiled eggs if not vegan)

Instructions

  1. Cook the soba noodles according to the directions on the package and steam the broccoli or kale in a pot fitted with a steamer basket.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, make the peanut sauce by blending the peanut butter, coconut milk, tamari, lime juice, ginger, maple syrup, and garlic together in an upright blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired, to suit your taste.
  3. Either pour the sauce directly over the soba noodles, or serve up the noodles and allow everyone to drizzle on their desired amount. Top with the vegetables, protein of choice, and cilantro. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts, if desired.
