Ingredients

Veggie Noodles

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 yellow onion, diced

  • 2/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 2 tbsp ginger ground or fresh grated
  • 1 1/2 tsp turmeric ground or fresh grated
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 4 1/2 tbsp lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp liquid aminos (or soy sauce if not on Whole30)
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

Instructions

Veggie Noodles

  1. In a skillet heated on medium, sautee 1 tbsp of minced garlic in sesame and olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Add diced onion to skillet, sautee until translucent, about 1 more minute

  3. Spiralize sweet potatoes in a spiralizer, using the widest blade. Add the spiralized noodles to your pan and turn skillet to medium-high. Lightly toss noodles in pan oil and let cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 6 minutes.

  4. While sweet potatoes cook, add all sauce ingredients to blender and blend until thoroughly mixed. You should have a silky, thinned sauce, about the consistency of coconut milk. Adjust flavors as necessary, adding more lime juice for a tart taste, more ginger or turmeric for spice, more cashews for a creamier sauce, etc.

  5. When sauce is fully blended, pour into skillet with sweet potatoes, add remaining veggies, toss once and cover. Turn skillet on medium low, cooking until noodles and remaining veggies are tender but not overly cooked, about 8-10 minutes.

  6. Serve noodles immediately, adding garnishes if desired.
