Creamy Cashew Noodles {gf,df,rsf}
If you're a pad thai, hibachi, Chinese food lover, I think this recipe is going to be your new best friend. Actually, I know it is! These pad thai inspired cashew noodles contain the ultimate creaminess with such minimal ingredients; this is a 6 ingredient recipe! This recipe features all my more nutrient dense pad thai ingredients, such as brown rice pad thai noodles, all natural cashew butter, raw honey, coconut aminos, sesame oil, raw cashews, and fresh garlic. I love to pair this noodle dish with my sesame chicken dinner recipe from my blog; I love a little mix of everything! I would highly recommend pairing both recipes together for the ultimate dinner. I paired these noodles with steamed mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli, but feel free to add in your own mix of vegetables! This recipe is entirely gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. Without further a due, let's get to the recipe.
