- 4 tbsp Ground Up PDX cashew tahini butter with diaspora chilies or 3 tbsp nut butter of choice, 1 tbsp tahini and 1 tsp sriracha
- 1 tsp gluten-free sriracha or chili sauce this is in addition to the sriracha used in the cashew tahini chili butter above
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar Omit this if Whole30 or sugar-free.
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1 green yellow, red pepper each, diced or any other veggies you want

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil with olive oil and salt.
- Once boiling, add in noodles and stir frequently. Boil for 4-5 minutes until cooked and springy in texture, but not mushy
- Drain noodles and set aside.
- Place sesame oil and chopped onions and peppers in a skillet and sauté on high heat. Add in Coconut Aminos and Garlic Sauce after a couple of minutes.
- Add in nut butter, sriracha, lemon juice, and coconut sugar. Continue to sauté with veggies on high heat. Feel free to add in protein at this point (cooked ground chicken or pork are delicious!).
