More stir fry

Tonight I made another stir fry, but this time with rice noodles. I had the hardest time finding Asian rice noodles, but settled on Tinkyada. They were fine, but more spaghetti-ish than I was hoping for. I think next time I'll go to an Asian grocery store, just to try something different.

I stir fried onions, garlic, broccoli, carrots and red bell pepper and also made a homemade peanut sauce. Thank you Marla for the recipe!!

2 T corn starch

1/2 c cold water

Dissolve corn starch in water, set aside

Whisk together the following in a saucepan over medium heat:

1/4 c soy sauce

1/2 c smooth peanut butter

1/4 c brown sugar

1 T vinegar

2 tsp sesame oil

1 c warm water

Stir/simmer until dissolved, then stir in cornstarch/water until thick, 1-2 minutes

This was really great! Soy sauce has soy (duh) and also wheat (WHY?!?!?!) so I used Worcestershire sauce instead. It does have soy, but no gluten. I'm sure it would be even better with soy sauce, but we just added some salt.

We sprinkled on sesame seeds and sliced almonds, and Kyle added red pepper flakes. So good!

Isaac thought the noodles were slimy, but ate the vegetables. Esther ate the noodles, but not the vegetables. At least everyone ate something, I guess!
