Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb brown rice noodles
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy)
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (Sriracha)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add brown rice noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Return noodles to pot.
Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining coconut milk, water, maple syrup, soy sauce, peanut butter, chili-garlic sauce, ginger and garlic in a medium saucepan. Let cook over medium heat, whisking frequently, until sauce comes together and thickens.
Remove from heat and mix in lime juice and sesame oil.
Toss hot noodles with the sauce, scallions, and carrots.
Garnish with peanuts and cilantro and serve. Any leftovers can be served warm or cold the next day for a delicious lunch.
