• 3 heaping cups thinly sliced red or green cabbage (1/2 small)

• 1 crown of broccoli cut into bit size pieces (1 cup)

• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame

• 2 TBL coconut aminos (soy free and low sodium seasoning sauce)

Method:

1. Prepare the peanut butter sauce (see below)

2. Cook noodles according to directions, drain and rinse with water

3. In a large wok, place oil, bell pepper and cabbage. Saute, uncovered over medium high heat for 5 minutes until slightly softened (al dente, tender but with some firmness)

5. Add carrots and green onions. Cook for one minute or so.

6. Turn off heat and stir in cilantro and drained noodles. Taste and season with salt and lime juice. Reheat over low if necessary.

• 5 TBL smooth natural peanut butter

• 3 TBL fresh lime juice

• 2 TBL sesame oil

• 1 TBL low sodium tamari

• 2 tsp natural maple syrup

In food processor, process garlic until minced. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. Season to taste with salt, pepper and chili garlic sauce or siracha!
