I love nothing more but to recreate some classic,  staple meals and turn them into a healthy masterpiece !!  With this one, I loaded up the vegetables and swapped out regular sugar for maple syrup.  I incorporated good quality organic soy sauce and eggs.  The result was incredible and it took me only 20 minutes to create!!  So easy and so yummy!!  Give it a try:)

Ingredients

SERVES 3-4

  • 1/2lb rice noodles
  • 1/2 cup organic low-sodium gluten-free Tamari
  • 2-1/2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1-1/2 – 2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce (depending on how hot you want it)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 organic free-range eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil divided
  • 1 broccoli head, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated carrot
  • 1 portobello mushroom, chopped
  • 1/2 onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 green onions, chopped and divided
  • 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped

Directions

  1. Pre-soak rice noodles according to package directions. In a small bowl combine tamari, maple syrup, chili garlic sauce, and fresh ginger then stir to combine and set aside. Whisk eggs and sesame oil together in a small bowl then set aside.
  2. When rice noodles have 10 minutes left to soak, heat 1/2 Tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Heat 1 Tablespoon oil in the wok then add broccoli, mushrooms and carrots, season with salt and pepper, and then stir fry until just barely crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and onions then stir fry for another minute. Push the vegetables to the sides of the wok to create a well in the center then add the egg and sesame oil mixture. Let sit for 30 seconds then scramble, and then mix to incorporate into the vegetables.
  4. Drain then add rice noodles to the wok and toss to combine. Add sauce then turn heat up to bring to a boil and stir fry for 3-4 minutes or until rice noodles are tender. Divide noodles between bowls then top with green onions, chopped peanuts, and chopped cilantro.
