Vegan Spaghetti Squash Noodle Salad With Peanut Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave 1 halved, seeded spaghetti squash with 2 tablespoons water, covered, until tender, 15 minutes. Cool slightly, then scrape into strands with a fork. Puree 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon each soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice and water, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; toss with the squash. Season with salt. Top with chopped peanuts, mint and cilantro.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
• Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
• Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
• When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place squash, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 30 minutes. Cool until easily handled.
• Combine peanut butter, tamari, agave syrup, sea salt, ginger, and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute. Stir lime juice and sriracha into sauce.
• Shred squash into a large bowl using a fork or your fingers. Add cabbage, broccoli, cucumber, carrot, scallions, and mint; drizzle peanut sauce over mixture and toss to coat. Top salad with peanuts.
