Thai Soba Noodles Recipe With Peanut Sauce VEGAN GLUTEN FREE
This week has been a tough one for me. I get the winter blues pretty terribly and my body has been fighting against the gloomy weather pretty hard. When I get down like this, I find it very hard to be inspired and creative, and resort to easy and comfort style meals that aren’t always the most nutritionally dense.
Instead of falling into that rut again today, I decided to make a dinner that was easy and delicious as well as healthy. Afterall, we really need to be taking care of our bodies this time of year. I met up with a friend of mine, Lauren from Hot For Food and we decided, it was time to do a collab. Given, the mental state I have been in lately regarding the weather, and my aching tired body, I suggested we gift our viewers with 2 easy dinner under 15 mins recipes! This one is mine– an Easy Thai Noodle Bowl packed with nutritious veggies and a peanut sauce that’s to die for! James LOVES this sauce, I caught him using it as a dip the other day– hey, whatever works for ya!
This recipe can be made in under 15 mins easily! I used soba noodles to keep this recipe gluten free, and because they only need 3 mins to cook! The sauce is made in a blender for ease and speed, and the veggies will cook up in about 10 mins. I made this for James (but added broccoli) and he was SO excited. I have never seen him enjoy a meal as vocally as this one. The great thing about this recipe is that you can use any veggies you have on hand, and is a great “clear the fridge” meal.

I’m bummed! I got excited to see that this was a gluten-free recipe. I clicked the link for the noodles (Amazon, my favorite) but quickly saw that these noodles are not GF. Do you have any source for GF soba noodles?
