Peanut Sauce

 PEANUT SAUCE!!

kids will eat anything if you serve it with a little peanut sauce!

...it's the new katsup!

 

Recipe: 

4 T peanut butter *

*(bonus points for grinding your own or using a brand that doesn't add palm oil)

3T coconut aminos*

*(see note and photo below)

1t minced fresh ginger

1 minced garlic clove

1t sesame oil

1/4 cup water

mix it all together with a wisk! YUM! 

This recipe makes enough for 4-5 servings if mixing with noodles as shown above, or you can just make the sauce and keep it in the fridge as a dip for veggies for a healthy kids snack! I promise you, even their most hated veggies will go down with a smile if smothered in this healthy peanut sauce!

side note (help me): I usually use buckwheat or wheat noodles with this dish.  Rice noodles also work great, but I have the worst luck cooking rice noodles. They always come out too sticky! If you have a tried and true method for cooking rice noodles, let me know in the comments below...I'd love to master them! :)

the peanut sauce and the greens (bok choy and tatsoi stir fried in a little olive oil). try carrots and/or kale too!

Coconut Aminos are a fantastic alternative to soy sauce for kiddos. It contains much much less sodium than soy sauce and it's a little sweeter. delicious !

**Tip: If your kiddos are not too keen on greens (ie: they are telling you no and they don't like it even before giving it a try) go ahead and chop them up and mix it in with the noodles

**health info: this sauce is so wonderful for two reasons. 1.) it's SO YUMMY. and 2.)it's SO GOOD FOR YOU! It's jam packed with protein and contains garlic and ginger: two of the worlds healthiest foods for your cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system as well as antioxidant effects. Eat up!! :-P
