  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounces brown rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon oil (avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth
  • 1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

Garnish (optional)

  • Scallions
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Crushed peanuts

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the brown rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the garlic: Mince the garlic very finely or use a garlic press to get small pieces, as the sauce will not be blended.
  3. Sauté the garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until the edges turn golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Mix the sauce: While the garlic cooks, whisk together the soy sauce or tamari, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, tahini, sriracha, and ground ginger in a bowl until smooth with no clumps of ginger or tahini.
  5. Combine sauce and garlic: Pour the whisked sauce into the pan with the sautéed garlic. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Toss noodles with sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
  7. Garnish and serve: Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and garnish with scallions, red pepper flakes, and crushed peanuts as desired. Serve immediately warm or chill for a cold noodle dish.
