Simple, yet bold flavors
The sauce for these Szechuan noodles only has five ingredients and they’re nothing fancy. If you have a well stocked Paleo pantry, you’ll likely have everything you need on hand! I suspect that the only ingredient you may not have is rice vinegar, in which case you could substitute white vinegar or coconut vinegar if you have one of those on hand instead. The sauce paired with the veggies is perfect, and you can make it more or less spicy based on the amount of crushed red pepper you use.
One pan FTW
One pan is always a hit at our house. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so anything that can help minimize cleanup is welcomed around here. I mean, is there anywhere less cleanup isn’t the goal?? Just sayin. Seriously though, this simple recipe just builds one layer on top of the next in the pan. You can use a cast iron, wok or other large, deep sided pan.
Weeknight dinner or lunch meal prep
We love these Szechuan noodles for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. They only take about a 30 minutes to make, which makes busy weeknights a little easier. This Asian-inspired recipe would also make for good meal prep, too. It’s something I’d look forward to eating for lunch at work.
