Ingredients
For the Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup agave or brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
For the bowl
- Rice or soba noodles
- Basil, mint, and cilantro
- Serrano peppers
- Chopped peanuts
- Veggies: we used "ugly" carrots, avocado, bell peppers, and cucumbers
- Optional protein like tofu or chicken
Instructions
Blend the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until they are emulsified. Set aside.
Cook the soba noodles in rapidly boiling water for about 4 minutes, then strain and set aside to cool. If you are using rice noodles, soak them in cold water for about 15 minutes to help prevent stickiness.
Slice the serranos, and cut the vegetables of your choice however you like them. We used a variety of cuts to add texture to the dish! Mince the herbs.
Toss the noodles with the sweet garlic lime sauce and all the other ingredients. Top with chopped peanuts, minced herbs and a little slice of lime.
