Every cook has a back pocket recipe that they can whip up in no time that is delicious and satisfying. For me, that has always been peanut noodles, until now. Now that I have discovered tahini garlic sriracha noodles, I have a new go-to recipe!
I saw the idea to swap tahini for peanut butter in a magazine. My reaction was, why didn’t I think of that! Well, I did think to pair it with the best hot sauce around, sriracha.
Add in a few other pantry ingredints such as garlic, use your favorite noodles, and top with crunchy veggies and you have a satisfying meal that anyone could eat. It is dairy free, vegan, nut free, and gluten free when served over lentil pasta.
Variations to the Tahini Garlic Sriracha Noodles recipe:
- Use a trusted tahini. Some tahini pastes can be bitter. Use one you have tried and like. I like East Wind brand.
- Noodle of choice: I have made this recipe with soba noodles, rice noodles, lentil spaghetti and whole wheat spaghetti. It really goes with anything you might have in the pantry.
- Simple Swaps: Try ginger in place of garlic, lime juice in place of rice vinegar or coconut aminos or soy sauce in place of tamari.
- Veggies: I most often make this with cabbage because I almost always have some in the fridge. Just about anything would work in it’s place.
- More servings: The recipe is writen for one serving, but you can easily adapt for the number you are feeding. All units are 1 or 2, so you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe!
