Thai Bowl

I bought a box of soba noodles after my last trip to Aux Vivres thinking that I would be able to create my own version of their Thai Bowl. Here is my attempt! Its lacking in lemon grass because I didn't have any on hand, but next time I'll be sure to add it in!

Ingredients

Stir Fry
1 package of low fat soba noodles
1 carrot, julienned
1 zucchini, julienned
1/4 red onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 thumb sized piece of ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 cup edamame beans
Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Coriander for garnish

Saute the zucchini and carrots in the oil in a hot non-stick pan. After 2-3 mins add the onions, ginger and garlic and continue to fry until the onions are soft, about 4 mins (if you have lemon grass add it here). Add in the shrimp and heat until the shrimp are pink throughout. Turn off the heat and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the soba noodles according to package directions. In a microwaveable bowl, microwave the edamame beans until cooked, about 3 mins. Remove the beans from the pods and add them to the stir fry mixture.

Peanut Sauce
2 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp reduced salt soy sauce, more to taste

In a microwaveable bowl, warm the peanut butter until liquid, about 45 seconds. Add the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and whisk. Add more soy sauce or peanut butter to your liking.

Combine the noodles, sauce and stir fry mixture and stir until all the ingredients are combined. Serve and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and coriander.
