15-minute spicy peanut noodles with mushrooms and kale

15-minute spicy peanut noodles with mushrooms and kale – a delicious, satisfying and super quick vegetarian meal!

Who wants a meal that’s ready in record time and guaranteed to disappear as quickly? These 15-minute spicy peanut noodles with mushrooms and kale are perfect for those lunch or dinners when time is short and hunger at an all time high. Which is pretty much most of the time lately – at least for me. Stress I have an adundance of, time, on the other hand, is very much in short supply.

On the plus side, the weather is brightening up and days are longer which is basically music to the ears of any food blogger and photographer. I even managed to photograph a recipe at 5pm yesterday – nothing short of a miracle considering the day was pretty overcast.

The spicy peanut sauce used in these recipe is basically one I have used before in this vegan dish – it can be used to liven up many a meal whether plant or meat based. I used straight-to-wok fresh egg noodles here which are a fantastic shortcut for when you need food in a real hurry. If you substitute these for a vegan option then the recipe is suitable for vegans.
