A simple pasta dish, which is loaded with flavor. Recipes from Asian cuisine are among my absolute favorites, because many dishes are already vegan anyway. Yay! Give me rice noodles and peanut sauce and I'm happy. That's exactly how this recipe came about - just with a few more ingredients. The result was these vegan Asian noodles with peanut sauce and pickled carrots.
Today we start with the topping, because the pickled carrots need a little time as the name suggests. At least as much time to infuse as we need for the actual pasta dish. So the two harmonize quite wonderfully. The ingredients are very clear, because in addition to carrots, we only need vinegar - such as apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, water, salt and sweetness. First, peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips about the length of a finger. The thinner you slice them, the softer the carrots will be after pickling. But they will and should always have some bite. These then go into a jar with a lid, while the rest of the ingredients join in a pot. Stirring, we boil them until the salt is completely dissolved. We then pour this hot liquid over the carrots in the jar and set the whole thing aside for now - or in the refrigerator overnight after it has cooled. This makes the taste even more intense.
In the meantime, we finally get to the vegan Asian noodles with peanut sauce. As a base for Asian dishes, I love the combination of garlic, ginger and green onion. Who would have thought - they also make the start in this recipe! I always like to use the white part of the spring onions for frying. I save the green one for the topping. But peppers and peas also come into the pan. Depending on your mood, you can also add zucchini, edamame, bamboo or broccoli to the pan.
When the vegetables are lightly cooked, the creamy and flavorful ingredients are added. Creamy coconut milk comes into play as the base for the sauce, as do peanut butter, soy sauce, pepper, and the zest and juice of a lime. Wonderful this interplay of sweet, nutty, salty, spicy and sour. In the meantime, the rice noodles can now be cooked - which, nicely enough, never takes very long. After cooking, they also join the pan, which should be realtively large with all the ingredients.
Voila - finally it's time to serve our vegan Asian noodles with peanut sauce and pickled carrots. For this we now add some sesame seeds to our noodle dish, the finely chopped green part of the spring onions and for those who like: chili flakes.
