These quick and easy stir fry noodles for one will become your new go-to when your in a rush!
When I’m in a rush for dinner my go-to is always a stir fry. Not only are they easy to make, but I always have some sort of ingredients on hand that I can toss together to create a delicious noodle dish! (tip: stash a few packs of rice noodles in your kitchen for these moments.)
This recipe for quick and easy stir fry noodles for one came together one evening after rushing home from my hot yoga class starving (Often the position I find myself in after a power flow).
I reached for my rice noodles, looked in my fridge for what veggies I had on hand, and got right to it!
I partnered with sunbutter this March for National Nutrition month, and thought what could better than incorporating this healthy ingredient into a stir fry! The sauce for this recipe features Sunbutter’s organic sunflower seed butter, for a rich, creamy texture.
Sunbutter also provides some extra protein, as well as some micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron. (They also offer an array of different sunflower seed butter products to suit your own personal taste!)
This sunbutter sauce is one of my new favourites for stir-fry noodles. You can make a single batch as you go, or even prepare a jar of it to stash in your fridge so it’s ready to go! You can also experiment using this sauce on different types of stir-fry dishes. (I’m thinking veggies or tofu would work great!)
