Peanut Noodle Salad with Edamame and Bok Choy

by Susan Oshel

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup light coconut milk

1/2 cup diced fire-roasted tomatoes

1/4 cup natural peanut butter

3 tbsp soy sauce

juice of 1 lime

2 tsp minced ginger

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp honey or agave nectar

sriracha*, to taste

8 oz pasta (any pasta, noodles or spaghetti)

1 red bell pepper, chopped

4 heads baby bok choy, chopped

2 cups frozen edamame

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped


DIRECTIONS:

Combine the coconut milk, tomatoes, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime, ginger, garlic, and honey to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add sriracha to taste.

Set a pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Cook until al dente. Set aside.

While the pasta cooks, spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high. Add the bell pepper and bok choy to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the edamame and cook until heated through.

Add the pasta to the pan and pour the peanut sauce over the pasta/vegetable mix, tossing to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with fresh cilantro.

*Sriracha is made from sun ripened chilies which are ground into a smooth paste along with garlic and packaged in a bottle. It is excellent in soups, sauces, chow mein or on anything else to give it a delicious, spicy taste.


 
'Behold, I will bring them from the north country, And gather them from the ends of the earth,
 Among  them the blind and the lame, The woman with child and The one who labors with child,  together,
 A great throng shall return there...And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.'
 Jeremiah 31:8, 14
