Oodles and oodles of slurpy noodles!

Just how fun is it to say oodles of noodles? Apparently I amuse myself quite easily. Especially when we are talking about fun foodie things.

Like this spicy broccoli carrot noodle stir-fry! Which is full of oodles of noodles. I’m stopping now, I promise.

ANYWHO, this is one of those dishes that is super simple but still interesting, you know? 

And you most certainly do not need much to pull this dish together. Just your average basic kitchen tools. Nothin’ fancy. 

So. We have the noodles. Yes. We have crisp tender carrots and broccoli. We have crunchy cashews. And we have a spicy, ever-so-slightly sweet sort of jazzed up soy sauce “sauce.”

Totally slurp-able. Totally on the table in about 35 minutes.

Tips & Tricks For This Broccoli Carrot Stir-Fry

  1. You can play with the sriracha amount depending on how spicy you like your food. As written the spiciness is definitely there but I wouldn’t say it’s over the top. Feel free to tone down (or up!) based on your preference.
  2. For the broccoli, about one medium-sized broccoli crown will give you the two cups. For the carrots, about three to four small to medium-ish carrots will give you the two cups. But it will vary slightly just based on the produce you buy!
  3. I think this dish could also be an excellent base if you wanted to add some other form of protein. Crispy tofu, chicken, whatever floats your boat. Make it your own.

And now, we slurp!
