Notes

  • If you’re straying away from gluten, use glass/cellophane noodles, they are fat-free, gluten-free, and are delicious.
  • You can use the peanut sauce over a quinoa Thai salad and ditch the carbs. Mix this sauce with 1 cup cooked quinoa and 1 cup coleslaw mixture.
  • I have made this sauce and stored in a air tight mason jar for other recipes such as Thai chicken lettuce wraps.
  • For any of my meat and sea food lovers out there you can add chicken or shrimp to this dish!
  • Feel free to use any veggies of choice or what you have already on hand!
  • These are the noodles I used.
