Asian Sweet Potato Noodle Bowl

I love finding unique ways to substitute noodles. One of my favorites is sweet potato noodles. I use a hand spiralizer to turn sweet potatoes into noodles and then either bake or sauté them until soft. They are a great, healthy alternative to pasta and have an amazing texture! 

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • about 1 cup asian almond butter sauce 

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, spiralized 

  • 1 mango, peeled and julienned 

  •  1 red pepper, peeled and julianned 

  • 1/2 bunch green onions, sliced thin

  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves (or 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro) + more for garnishing

  • black sesame seeds to garnish

  • limes to garnish

Directions

  1. Heat 1 TBS coconut or avocado oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato noodles and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.

  2. While the sweet potato noodles are cooling, make the sauce. 

  3. Once the sweet potatoes have cooled add everything to a bowl and toss with almond butter sauce to coat. Garnish with cilantro, black sesame seeds and lime wedges.
