We haven’t done stir-fry in ages. Partly because The Hubster decided he didn’t like rice very much {communist}. And partly because the only food we ever eat out is Chinese.

But. I was beginning to run out of ideas for our meals. And I came across a really interesting sounding sauce in reFresh cookbook. We already had most of the ingredients on hand {bonus for that pesky food budget} and knew that it would be out of our norm.

The Hubster and I were both pleasantly surprised at how yummy this dish was. The only thing we would change: the amount of lime. So, I did. At least, I changed it for you. So you will have perfection in a meal. On the first try.

You’re welcome.

Ginger Lime Noodles

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup snap peas, chopped
• 1-2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• handful {approx 1 cup} of coleslaw {cabbage and carrots}
• 2 cloves garlic
• linguine or other flat noodle
• 1/2 cup tamari
• 3 tbs oil {safflower, sesame, peanut}
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 2 tbs lime juice
• 1 tbs corn starch
• sesame seeds

Directions:

1. Put up large pot with water and cook noodles.
2. Mix tamari, oil, ginger, lime juice, and corn starch in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Place onion and garlic in wok and heat for 2-3 minutes, until onions are translucent.
4. Add veggies and cook until bright, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add noodles to wok. heat through.
6. Add sauce and heat until sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes.
7. Sprinkle noodles with sesame seeds to taste.
8. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

1. Feel free to use any veggies here. That’s what we had on hand.
2. The original recipe called for 4 tbs of lime juice. It was incredibly overpowering. Reducing it by half would give you a very nice and subtle flavor. We would have enjoyed that a little better.
3. The original recipe also called for sesame oil, which we didn’t have. So we used safflower oil and were pretty happy. The sesame seeds added a very nice texture and flavor, so would assume that sesame oil would be great too.

For your reference: this recipe is vegetarian and vegan. it is also nightshade free, dairy free, egg free, cinnamon free, and contains no msg. it can also be made gluten free and wheat free by using a suitable pasta.
