Since we're giving it up animal style through the week we don't get to use any fish sauce, but you don't really miss it in the mix of other flavors.
Here's what we need:
Stir fry:
2 cups shelled edamame.
2 cups chopped bok choi
2 cups chopped red/yellow/orange sweet bell peppers
12 oz or so of rice noodles, soaked and drained (i used mai fun, but go with whatever works)
Sauce:
1 can of fire roasted tomatoes
1 can of coconut milk
about 2 T fresh ginger (i just cut off about a 1 inch piece and peel it)
2-3 gloves of garlic
1/3 cup peanut butter
3 T soy sauce/tamari
2-3 T Sriracha (more to taste)
2 T maple syrup/agave/honey
Juice of 1 lime.
Garnish
1/4 c cilantro
1/4 c chopped peanuts
Lime wedges
To make:
In a blender or food processor, toss all the sauce ingredients. Process the hell out of it for 1-2 minutes until everything is combined. Taste, add more sriracha or sweetener to your taste and recombine it. My recipes are always just suggestions, really. Everything gets adjusted to taste in the moment.
In a wok or large frying pan, add a little bit of oil and bring to high heat. Toss in your veggies. It will look like summertime. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, until the edamame and peppers start to brown a little.
Toss in your drained rice noodles, toss everything around to combine.
Dump in that delicious sauce. Toss again and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Now plate that mess with some class and elegance. Garnish with cilantro, peanuts, lime juice and more Sriracha if you like.
Now throw away your fork and eat it with your hands like an animal, if you prefer.
Or dine like a distinguished gentleman.
Bask in the familial warmth of a shared dinner.
After dinner, it's time to go to your bed.
