A Healthy, Plant-Based Alternative to Take-out
Dinner in 5 Minutes? Without using a knife? Yes, it can be done!
Take out can be tempting. It’s easy to order food from a delivery app and have it show up at your door in half an hour. Often, we choose delivery when we lack the time or energy to cook something. Or, sometimes we’re just craving something hearty and satisfying.
Well, this quick Soba Noodle Bowl is your answer to that problem. Unlike take-out, this plant-based recipe is oil-free. Plus, it’s vegan, and it’s easy to keep the ingredients stocked in your pantry. All you need are whole grain Soba noodles, peanut butter, frozen edamame, and a few pantry staples. Solve the challenge of unhealthy take-out!

Chef Katie’s Oil-free Plant-Based Cooking Tips:
Extra Dressing: You’ll have extra dressing from this recipe. It is good for up to 10 days. Use it on salads, grilled veggies, or for other dinner emergencies.
Chef’s Ingredient Tip: Double-check the Peanut Butter label. Look for a brand that has no extra oils, sugars, or syrups listed. These are often called peanut butter “spread”
Chef’s Bottom-of-the Jar Trick: Use an empty (or near-empty “bottom of the jar”) peanut butter jar to make a big batch of the Peanut Sauce. You can whip up this bowl in minutes, or use it as a dressing for salad, a dip for veggies, or even poured over roasted sweet potatoes.
Oil-Free: I’m on a mission to get rid of empty calories, like those found in refined oils. This recipe skips oil and uses parchment paper to keep the bars from sticking to the pan. This makes a healthy, low-calorie recipe.
