This dish is ready in only 15 minutes and perfect to make for meal prepping purpose, as an easy and quick weeknight meal or for a weekend dinner.
I love a good bowl of noodles. Especially when it has a creamy yet fresh sauce and lots of vegetables. These noodles are covered with a delicious and creamy tahini sauce and served with Brussel sprouts, kale and mushrooms. You have a lovely combination of creamy and nutty tahini sauce, warm and tender Brussels sprouts, fresh kale and crunchy almonds. This dish is perfect to make for meal prep purpose or when you need a quick and delicious weeknight meal. It’s also easy to adapt according to what vegetables you have at home or prefer. The kale can be replaced for black kale and brussel sprouts for broccoli for example. I used both button and shiitake mushrooms in my bowl. But they can also be replaced for mushrooms of your choice.
A few tips:
- I used shirataki noodles for this dish. But you can use any noodles that you prefer and have at home.
- Make sure to use a creamy tahini.
- If you want to make this dish a little spicer you can add fresh chili when frying the vegetables.
- Make sure to sauté the vegetables until warm and softened, but not overcooked. They should still hold some crunch and chewing resistance.
- If you prefer your noodles nut free you can use pumpkin, sunflower or sesame seeds instead of the almonds.
- You can also use cashew nuts, peanuts or hazelnuts to top the noodles.
