Vegan Mofo 2010: Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles

Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles is an absolute family favorite. We use the Peanut sauce on just about everything, even salads.  Use a little less vegetable broth and the Peanut Sauce can be used as a perfect party dip, serve with toasted pita triangles or baby carrots. 

Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce

1 cup vegetable broth

1/3 cup lime juice

2 cups non hydrogenated peanut butter (either crunchy or creamy works well)

2 tbs pure maple syrup

1/3 cup Bragg's liquid amino's or soy sauce

fresh ground pepper

1 cup finely chopped cilantro (optional)

Either 2 tbs of red pepper flakes or a couple of dashes of your favorite hot sauce

Optional: toasted or raw sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:

Mix together vegetable broth, lime juice, Bragg's and maple syrup

Melt peanut butter in a sauce pan over medium heat

add the broth/lime juice/Bragg's and maple syrup mixture

whisk until completely blended and smooth (about 3 - 5 minutes)

add fresh ground pepper, optional cilantro and red pepper flakes (or hot sauce)

simmer another 5 minutes

Remove from heat and serve over anything your heart desires. If serving over noodles you can thin the sauce a little with a bit more vegetable broth

top with optional sesame seeds
