Need a quick & delicious dinner idea? Coming right up.
These creamy peanut butter noodles from Niall Kirkland are the absolute bomb for a flavour-packed, filling meal. Oh, and they’re completely vegan-friendly and won’t take you all night to make.
Depending on how efficient you are on the chopping board, we don’t think this dish will take you any more than 15 minutes to have ready. Now that’s our kind of recipe. Each serving also provides a pretty impressive 17g of protein — which is of course, plant-based.
These noodles are also the perfect base for any of your favourite extras — tenderstem broccoli, baby corn, red pepper, mushrooms, anything you fancy to boost your veggie intake, too.
