Spicy Peanut Stir-Fry
(Sauce recipe from The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, and then modified a bit by me :))

For the pasta:

1/2 lb. rice noodles
2 large heads of broccoli, cut into florets
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 TBSP canola peanut oil
2 TBSP tamari or soy sauce
1 tsp. freshly grated ginger

1/2 finely chopped scallion

For the sauce:

1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/4-1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP tamari or soy sauce
2 TBSP molasses
1/4-1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (to taste)

In a large pot bring water to a boil. Cook noodles, drain, and set aside.
In a wok or pan over medium-high heat, add 1 TBSP oil once hot and coat sides and bottom on wok or pan. Add broccoli florets and give the pan a shake or a stir. Let cook 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, then pour in tamari and stir until mostly evaporated. Remove broccoli from pan while still bright green and slightly crisp. Set aside.

For the sauce:
In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, add the peanut butter and 1/4 cup of the hot water, stirring to combine.
Mix in the rest of the ingredients, then add the remaining 1/4 cup water to thin the sauce to desired consistency.

Toss noodles and broccoli in the sauce, and garnish with chopped peanuts and scallions.

Serve.

Hope you enjoyed it!
