Stir Fry Asian Veggie Noodles with Coconut Curry Peanut Sauce & Asian Meatballs-a healthy and low carb dinner bursting with Asian flavor.

 

Ummmm, if noodle bowls were the only thing I could ever eat, that’d be TOTALLY fine with me.

This noodle dish has the distinct aromas of fresh ginger, soy sauce, cilantro and scallion accompanied by an easy, yet healthy coconut curry peanut sauce and the best Asian turkey meatballs

If you can’t already tell, I love Thai and Asian cuisine (specifically noodle bowls)…I really think if I had to pick between Thai or Pizza, it’d be a tough call, but the Thai would win (can’t go wrong with a good noodle bowl!).

While we’re on the subject of Thailand, I think John and I have decided to go there for our Honeymoon…anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love elephants.  It has always been a dream of mine to visit an elephant sanctuary and see the elephants in their natural free habitat; I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am.  Of course I’m ecstatic about the food as well, I mean elephants AND 24/7 authentic Thai food???  I’m pretty sure if I had to picture a heaven that would be pretty darn close.

Oh yeah…I said YES TO THE DRESS this past weekend.  I feel like it’s finally hit me that I will be getting married!!!

That’s why this amazingly healthy dinner is one of my all time favorites; It can satisfy my craving for a nice warm noodle bowl without me (or my waist) feeling guilty from carb-overload…WHAT MAGIC (and Lord knows it’s crunch time to get my wedding-dress self in shape).

Plus you can easily tweak the recipe for a vegetarian/vegan/gluten option.

And oh em gee the coconut curry peanut sauce is divine…Creamy and warmly spiced it has all the true Thai flavors that I love oh so much…it’s super quick and easy and versatile…Use on fish, over rice or I bet it would be delicious with chicken skewers…mmm.

Ingredients

Thai Meatballs:

  • 1 lb ground turkey/chicken/lean beef
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 2 TSP fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 TBS soy sauce
  • 1 tsp siracha sauce, optional
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions, about 4 stalks
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 2 TBS sesame oil

Thai Curry Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 3 TBS soy sauce
  • 1, 13.5 oz can coconut milk
  • 2 tsp ground curry
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 TBS honey, or agave
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Veggie Zoodles:

  • 1 tbs sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4-5 cups veggies noodles, carrots, sweet potato, zucchini, etc
  • 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 TBS soy sauce
  • green onions, thinly chopped, for topping
  • crushed peanuts, for topping
  • cilantro, chopped, for topping

Instructions

Thai Meatballs:

  1. Mix all meatball ingredients (except sesame oil) together in medium sized bowl. Shape into small/medium size balls and set aside.
  2. Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat in large sauté pan. Add meatballs and cook 3-4 minutes per side to get a nice golden crust. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and let cook until meat is fully cooked through, about another 10-15 minutes. Set aside when finished.

Coconut Curry Peanut Sauce:

  1. Heat sesame oil in medium sauce pan over medium heat, add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add in remaining sauce ingredients, except lime juice.
  2. Bring to simmer, lower heat to low, cover and continue to cook 10-15 minutes. Stir in lime juice. Set aside.

Stir-Fried Veggie Noodles:

  1. Heat sesame oil over medium-high heat over large wok or saute pan. Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Add in veggie noodles, cabbage, bell peppers, bean sprouts, and soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally until veggies are softened yet still a little crunchy or “al-dente”.
  3. Toss veggie noodles with peanut curry sauce (you may have some left over) and top with 2-3 meatballs. Top with green onion, peanuts and cilantro if desired.

Notes

*For a vegan or vegetarian version you can omit the meatballs all together. Feel free to add more veggies to the noodles like broccoli, cauliflower, etc for added substance. Omit fish sauce and replace with soy sauce. Use agave instead of honey.

*For a gluten free version-make sure you use a gluten free breadcrumb instead of the panko in the meatballs. Also, use a soy sauce substitute like liquid aminos.

*You can find sesame oil in the international section at your grocery store, or you can certainly substitute olive oil, coconut oil, or any oil of your choice. The sesame oil has a strong distinct flavor which adds a unique taste.

My mom made my Asian short ribs yesterday and said My mom made my Asian short ribs yesterday and said they were her favorite recipe of mine to date.  Now I know she’s my mom so of course she loves my recipes 😜 but she’s a pretty amazing cook herself so I take it as a high compliment ❤️. So maybe try these bad boys for yourself and see if they’re a favorite of yours too 🙃. Recipe in my profile link 💜.
