Satay Noodles

Satay noodles that ooze with the deliciousness and richness of peanut butter is one of those foods often given up in the attempt to lose weight and get healthy. The good news is that we feel your pain. We have lovingly created an equally rich and decadent satay noodle dish but without the added guilt. Ours is tasty and nutritious at the same time. For a savoury umami flavour we add miso paste instead of unnecessary salts. The addition of miso is also helpful for the digestive system to encourage a healthy metabolism. Don’t worry, there is still plenty of peanut butter and taste to get the true satay noodle flavour. We love ours served with the textures of water chestnuts and leafy greens but feel free to choose any other vegetable that makes your heart sing. After all, you can never have too many vegetables.
