Sweet Potato Noodles with a Spicy Peanut Sauce

Having tried a 'pencil sharpener' spiralizer I am so glad I invested in the counter top version. Although it takes up more space in your kitchen cupboard it is well worth the investment. You can spiralize fruit or vegetables easily and with a range of sizes, you can achieve different width noodles depending on your mood or the dish that you're preparing. If you have children who like to get involved in the kitchen, under supervision they'll love to help make the noodles. Even better if they eat them afterwards! As a migraine struck the other day I wasn't making any sense to those around me and I zoned out and spiralized two large sweet potatoes. They overflowed onto the work surface and it was clear to everyone around me that there was enough to feed an army! Needless to say I kept half of them for the following day!

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 5-10 minutes Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 extra large/2 medium sweet potatoes, spiralized A handful of kale leaves, shredded 2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped ½ cup of vegetable stock 1-2 red chillies, chopped (optional) A handful of pumpkin seeds

For the Peanut Sauce:

½ cup of peanut butter ¼ cup of tamari/soy sauce 3 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp. of honey or maple syrup 1 tsp. of grated fresh ginger 2 garlic cloves, crushed ¼ tsp. of red pepper flakes 2 tbsp. of water

Equipment:

Spiralizer Wok

1. In a bowl or medium sized jug, mix all the ingredients together for the peanut sauce. Add a little water if the consistency is too thick. Set aside. 2. Spiralize the peeled sweet potatoes and put to one side.

3. In a large wok, gently sautée the garlic in a little of the vegetable stock. After a few minutes add the sweet potato, tossing well. Cook for 5 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time. Add a little more stock to prevent sticking. Throw in the shredded kale and cook until wilted. Serve topped with the pumpkin seeds, chopped fresh chilli (optional) and a drizzle of the peanut sauce.

For those with nut allergies you could always replace the peanut sauce with green pesto.
