Spicy Tenderstem & Peanut Noodle Stir Fry

Spicy Tenderstem & Peanut Noodle Stir Fry Thanks to Tenderstem for sponsoring this post ♥

I was inspired to create this comforting recipe after Tenderstem challenged me to take their cooking personality quiz to find out what sort of foodie I am. It was, of course, no surprise that I got “the comforter” personality.

This means that food is my comfort and whenever I’m feeling down, it’s what cheers me up. Yep, that sounds about right. But whether I’m feeling down or not, this Spicy Peanut & Tenderstem Noodle Stir Fry is always a winner… Scroll down for the recipe.

Spicy Tenderstem & Peanut Noodle Stir Fry For me, comfort food usually involves something warm, spicy and full of carbs. Today’s recipe definitely ticks those boxes.

And assuming I’m the one doing the cooking, which is nearly always the case, then it needs to be quick and simple. This veggie noodle stir fry ticks that box too.

I have been making something similar for a long time now. Spicy peanut stir fries are nothing new but this version is so simple that it will give you an excuse to make it more often!

I made mine with peppers, mushrooms and Tenderstem broccoli for a variety of flavours, textures and nutrition.

This dish is:

  • Vegetarian & vegan
    •
  • Dairy-free
    •
  • Eggless
    •
  • Easy to make gluten-free (just use gluten-free noodles and tamari sauce

Spicy Tenderstem & Peanut Noodle Stir Fry

Yield: 4

A quick, easy and super delicious dish that can be served hot for supper or cold for tomorrow's packed lunch.

Ingredients

  • 250 g wholewheat noodles, or gluten-free soba noodles
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 200 g Tenderstem broccoli
  • 250 g chestnut mushrooms
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 2 spring onions
  • (Optional) A bunch of fresh coriander

For the spicy peanut sauce

  • 6 tbsp soy sauce, or gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 8 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Make the noodles

  1. Cook the noodles according to the package's instructions. Once cooked, drain and plunge into a pan of cold water.

Cook the veg

  1. Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or wok and cook the vegetables for 6-8 minutes.

Make the sauce

  1. Stir all the ingredients together. If it's too thick, stir in some hot water until it becomes a thick but smooth sauce.
  2. Stir half the sauce into the noodles and half into the veg, then mix everything together.
  3. Serve hot or cold (makes an amazing packed lunch served cold the next day!) To warm up, return to the frying pan and cook on a high heat for a couple of minutes until warmed through.

    Hello did you use all the sauce for this recipe? My calorie counts are much higher and I'm trying to figure out why.

    This was really easy to make and tasty! As a student I'm always on a crunch so I used frozen veggies and added some tofu I was done in under 20 minutes - so much better than eating out. Thanks!!

    We tried this recipe yesterday and absolutely loved it! For veggies I used green beans, broccoli and bell pepper and I added slightly more sriracha. This will definitely become a staple in our household! Thank you for a great recipe xxx

    We all really enjoyed it. Not sure where you obtained your sodium values but they are not correct. 1 tbs of normal soya sauce is 4 times the amount of sodium you have listed in 1 serving and there is 6 tbs in this recipe...

      Glad you enjoyed it Sally and managed to fix the saltiness. I think it must be certain brands of peanut butter or soy sauce that cause over-saltiness. Good tip with just adding some more sweetness to it though. Thanks!

      Mine was quite salty too. I think it's the soya sauce I used or my natural peanut butter. I added a bit of coconut sugar to take it down a notch and didn't use all the sauce.

    Absolutely in love! I added spinach and cheery tomatoes too, the tomatoes add a nice sweet flavour they go well with the peanut butter, I also used chilli powder instead of the sriarcha and also tastes amazing

    Thanks for this! I LOVE this recipe! I use the sauce as-is, add shelled edamame, and frozen stir-fry veggies! The first time I made it I was in a time crunch and only had time for Target, so all I could find was fettuccini, which worked so well it's what I use every time now!
