- 2 teaspoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
For the Sauce:
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup or brown sugar for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon molasses

For the Stir-Fry:
- 8 ounces ramen noodles, Chinese egg noodles, or rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups mixed stir-fry vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas)
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
- 1-2 tablespoons garlic chili oil
For Serving:
- 2 green onions, chopped
Directions:
- Prepare the Cashews
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the raw cashews on the sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Remove the cashews from the oven, and toss them with sriracha, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons honey, and sesame seeds. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until toasted and fragrant.
- Cook the Noodles
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce
- In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, rice vinegar, peanut butter, molasses, and a pinch of black pepper. This will be your stir-fry sauce.
- Stir-Fry the Vegetables
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the grated ginger and stir for another minute to release its aroma.
- Combine the Sauce and Noodles
- Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the cooked noodles and garlic chili oil to the skillet, tossing everything together for 3-5 minutes until the noodles are coated in the sauce and everything is heated through.
- Serve and Garnish
- Once the stir-fry is ready, divide the noodles into bowls. Top each serving with the toasted cashews and a sprinkle of chopped green onions. Enjoy your meal!
