Discussion & Rating
Absolutely declious and simple to make. I love the sauce too. I also added cubes of tempeh, which was marinated and airfried to the dish. I enjoy watching your videos. My daughter, who is vegan follows your recipes very often. Keep up the good work. Thank you Sadia.
Love the sauce. It's now my go-to stir fry sauce
Great weeknight dinner. Thank you !!
The sauce is so tasty!! And I like how easy it is to switch out whatever veggies I have in the fridge. Tastes just as good as leftovers. I add tofu and sub GF noodles.
This is one of my weeknight favorites! I can use all of my veggies and have enough for lunch at work. Everyone asks what smells so good! lol. Of course I tell them about PUL!!!
A new week night staple with whatever veg needs using up!
It was delicious. I used carrots, shallots and oyster mushrooms. And I put cilantro on everything ;)
The sauce is delicous.
I like your recipes and ideas, thank you so much!
We made it today for lunch and it tasted great!
Delicious and colourful, this is an amazing recipe! Thank you PUL team, thank you Sadia 🙏
The first time we cooked this, we replaced the cabbage with mushrooms (we didn't have one at home and were too hungry to go shopping!).
So we used mushrooms instead and ended up falling in love with that variation.
I just wanted to leave a comment about how much I enjoy watching you perform these recipes. You and your husband are so honest and adorable it is truly refreshing to see you guys work together. Sadia, you are a winner love watching you cook with such passion and colors. This recipe is one of my favorites and look forward to many more. I subscribed to your App and love it!!!! Keep up the great work, loving it! The grocery list part is so easy to use and quite ingenious since working with these ingredients are challenging.
Loved it very simple, filling and Delicious
One of my all-time favorites!!
I love this recipe! Tried it a while back and it has become a staple in our home ever since. I usually add zucchini to the mix. It's bright, satisfying, full of nutrients, and the whole family loves it :)
This sauce never fails!
An amazing recipe! I'm not a fan of stir fry but I was intrigued by the stir fry sauce and what a hit it was with my husband. I was sceptical of the veggie to boodle ratio but it worked. I was surprised by the assembly of the ingredients prior to cooking, it didn't take long at all. The lime is definitely a game changer. I did substitute peanut butter with Tahini, sriracha with gochujang and I drizzled some chilli oil just before serving. A recipe I'm going to have on repeat.
So delicious! Also works with spaghetti and fennel.
Absolutely delicious! I used ramen noodles.
I used green beans instead of bell peppers and it turned out great. The sauce is delicious!
My dish turned out sticky, maybe I used the wrong noodles or something 🤔
I have made this many many times now and I still absolutely love it! A go to meal staple in our household :-)
I will definitely be making this again.
Oh boy. Better double the sauce. I fried up some tofu for a little protein and used zucchini from my garden. Hubby gave me an eleven on ten. Now I have a jar of sauce in the fridge for later this week. This is a versatile recipe which is great when veggies are not so abundant or affordable.
Hey! We are about to make it and we are excited. Is there any alternative for hoisin souse? We don’t have
Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much for the recipe, I loved it.
Yum! Super flavorful. Love the cook-along feature in the app and the thoughtful way you present nutrition info!
Really easy to prepare, healthy, and delicious. The red cabbage is not something I would have thought of but works really well. We sometimes add broccoli, julienne some courgette and a few sugar snap peas, and a bit less bell pepper than suggested. This has become one of our family's regular dishes, thank you Sadia + the team : ) Will be trying other dishes from the site for sure.
Tried this and came out awesome! Love the sauce. App is so cool from planning the meal, adding the groceries, accurate measurements for needed portions and all was so simple. Of course the recipe Yum!!!! Thank you!
I made this tonight. Very good. I used honey instead of agave and added sesame seeds to the cashews. It was a really tasty sauce. Thank you.
Fantastic sauce! Very easy recipe :)
I change the vegetables and type of noodles according to whatever i have on hand and the sauce is my favorite! Perfect weeknight dinner.
This is a must try recipe. It’s our go-to dinner for non-vegan friends and always is a winner. Super quick and easy to make for company.
We love this recipe. I has quickly found it’s way into regular circulation.
Omg the peanut sauce is to die for. I also added tofu with the veggies and it was delectable!
We are flexitarian at home. But with meals like this I don’t miss any meat. The sauce is delicious! Combined with veg and soba absolutely heaven! I can eat like this any day of the week 😊.
This is next level amazing. If you like a peanut sauce it an absolute must have. You can use whatever veggies you want the star is the sauce so it's super easy to make with whatever is in your fridge.
I’ve been wanting to make a stir fry with a peanut sauce for ages. I used different veg to the recipe but the sauce was delicious. I also added some tofu that I had pan-fried. Looking forward to trying more of your fab recipes.
Also the app is fantastic- very well thought out and designed. It’s lovely to look at and easy to use. Well done!
We are new to vegan eating, but have followed your channel for several years! We just made this and it was fabulous! What a great way to get introduced to a new way of eating! Thank you!
Definitely a recipe I’ll be making weekly. It’s incredibly easy to make and tastes unbelievably good. I add some broccoli and tofu to mine, which makes it even yummier
Love it 🥰
How to store noodles so they wouldn't stick together?
Delicious 😋
This is one of my favorites and I have made it a dozen times! It's so easy to make and delicious. We always make extra for leftovers.
I LOVE this recipe! I just made it for the first time tonight and it was a major hit. It would've made for some yummy leftovers tomorrow, except that, well, we loved it so much that it's all gone!! My partner isn't a fan of strong peanutty flavor, so I mixed 2 tblspns of peanut butter with 1 tblspn of tahini and it turned out great! Love your videos, too!
Been making this one for what seems like years, it is a household staple!
Ugh this recipe is so delicious and beautiful from all the colorful vegetables. I just put on a podcast while I chopped the veggies and the rest came together super easy. Made delicious leftovers too. This will definelty be a new weekly favorite recipe for me (:
I just made this recipe a couple of days ago and it's amazing! So yummy and filled with veggies, it took me a while to chop them all up, but it's so worth it!!
This one is so so good!! It became quickly my go to meal during stressful times in dental school. It's quick to make, you don't need many ingredients, and it's really really tasty. Highly recommend!!
the vibrant colours and flavours in this dish make it one of my go-to summer recipes! i shared it with a friend who was new to cooking and felt intimidated by most recipes and she absolutely LOVED it - she felt so proud of herself for making something delicious!
Sometimes I make this recipe 3 times a week. I crave this meal. It also heats up really well for lunches and make ahead meals! This is one meal that I think the toppings are not optional! The cilantro and cashews on top make this recipe perfect! It is so good.
Hey Sadia. This is certainly my favourite way to make noodles! Such a unique nutty flavour. Although next time I will add one more TBS of peanut butter to get more peanut flavour. Anyways thanks for this recipe, made it three times ;)
Really lovely recipe that I keep coming back to, especially the sauce. I made it with rice noodles.
This looks delicious! I've become slightly allergic to peanuts (I'm told its a carb sensitivity and not a protein allergy, since it's not an anaphylactic reaction) with bloating and inflammation. COuld any of your peanut sauce recipes be used with almond butter instead? I saw one commenter said they used tahini. I'm curious.
Another winner! This was delicious! I replaced the sriracha with some kimchi and put the sauce in a blender, it was quite different from my usual stir-fry sauces which was a nice change. Thanks :)
Really nice recipe. When I tasted the sauce on its own I thought it wasn't to my liking but then once its all mixed it it's perfect and incredibly moreish. Nice to have some veg in there too
Can I skip hoisin sauce ? .. and can I use maple instead of agave ? Thank you ..
Just really easy and delicious
The sause is amazing and overall fast easy and so yummy! I can't stop eating!
I like that the vegetables are not cooked until they fall apart but keep a nice bite to them, somehow that perfectly mixes with the taste of this meal. Also I love how colourful this is all together 😍
I want to make a big batch of the sauce to have it ready, does it really only last up to 3 days in the fridge?
I love this recipe and made so many times. It is so tasty and easy to make. The best part of your recipes is that each serving is satisfying and keeps me full for long, a wholesome meal.
Made this two nights in a row because it was such a hit!
My non-plant based parents even ate it, and my dad who is a hard core carnivore enjoyed it, which is a major victory ;)
Highly recommend!
Amazing! I put less siracha than the recipe though because I just wanted a little bit of spice 😉
I happened to come across your website when hunting down an easy recipe for an Asian-based sauce with peanut butter for a stirfry. I have to say, the website is stunning! Aesthetically pleasing, major user-friendly, and PACKED with educational & nutritional data... Applause all around! I will certainly be back to scope out more fun recipes.
Quick, easy and delicious! Peanuts in a dish can never be wrong
Sadia, this recipe was wonderful and super quick and easy to make. It was a hit in my household. I did do a different version of the peanut sauce, which I've included here in case you want to give it a go. This version of peanut sauce is great for dipping with those salad rolls too.
Peanut sauce: 5 Tbsp peanut butter, 2 Tbsp (22 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce, 3 medium cloves garlic, 2 Tbsp Thai red curry paste, 1-2 tsp tamarind paste, 1-2 Tbsp (15 mL) sriracha hot sauce, 3 Tbsp vegetable oil, 1 Tbsp agave syrup or honey, a squeeze of lime (optional) 1/4 cup water (as needed to thin the sauce to your liking). Just pop all the ingredients in a blender.
Wonderful recipe!
Made this for a big crowd (btw, thank you so much for scaling option!!!) EVERYONE loved it! Even people who are not into plant based food said they ate vegetables with such pleasure for the first time in their life😅💖 Your blog is definitely making people healthier and happier!
Hi.
Can the agave syrup be replaced by pure honey? Thanks <3
Excellent. Quick and easy to prepare. Was a hit with the kids too and that always elevates a dish ten-fold! xD Thank you!
Tried this today- it was delicious and such a quick recipe. My husband loved it too- I just added a little more chilli sauce since we like spicy food.
Loved it!
The entire meal is so filling and nurturing for your soul and for me, the peanut sauce makes all the difference. It’s measurements are perfect and the flavor can’t be beat. I use it as a dipping sauce as well.
This sauce tastes so good!
Made this for my a few friends for an end-of-semester dinner party. I was nervous because it was my first time making it, but it turned out so great and everyone went back for seconds!!
I’m a college student and have been vegan for almost 2 years now. PUL has made finding meals to enjoy so much easier :) Thanks guys!
First meal recipe I tried from Pick Up Limes and it did not disappoint. Perfect balance for the sauce (my husband liked it too) :)
Love this. It’s my go to when I’m cooking for meal trains or other people. Easily one of my favourites and so easy to make.
Is there a way to save my favorite recipes from the site, I have so many now I’m starting to forget them! Help please!!
I tried this recipe when you first featured it and have always loved it. Just thought I would share something as well :) Last week, I decided to make a batch of the cabbage and carrot on its own in the sauce for meal prep. I then paired it with brown rice/quinoa & tofu or tempeh on 3 different days throughout the work week; and i LOVED it. I never got bored of the flavor profile & crunch. I am trying the same approach this week, but swapping out different vegetables to have some variety. <3
It’s tasteful and delicious! Principally the peanut sauce.
Great recipe!
I wanted to use red cabbage I had in a fridge but I had almost no ingredients for the sauce- I mixed honey, soy sauce, tahini and hot paprika powder and limes and it still was delicious! Can't wait for orginal recepie as I am sure it will be amazing :) thank you for boosting up my creativity! ;)
Made this multiple times! Such a unique rich taste and flavour. The lime adds a really nice kick!
This meal come together so easily on a weeknight. Even my husband, a dedicated omnivore, loved it. It was just spicy enough without overpowering the veggies.
absolutely loved it! thank you for all the delicious recipes you teach us 😋😋😋
Love this sauce and recipe is very simple to make
Love this wonderful recipe! Had all the ingredients on hand except the purple cabbage.....so used the fresh coleslaw mix we had. Will make this recipe again and again. Thank you :-D
AMAZING
An all time favorite! I love noodles, love veggies and love, love, love peanut butter. Soooo delicious!!
Made this tonight! Delicious
Veganuary starting well! Thanks
HNY
Great recipe! We often make it when we have guests for dinner.
A question, can I substitute the agave syrup with a date? I have a friend coming over who eats paleo and she cannot have agave or maple syrup.
Thanks for another great recipe! Simple, delicious, and loaded with vegetables!
Stumbled across this on the channel and had everything in the fridge so decided to give it a go. Being gluten-free, I served it over brown rice instead of noodles and added some tamari pan fried firm tofu. This sauce is delicious and left me feeling very satisfied. I will definitely be adding this one to the rotation!
Hello,
This recipe looks scrumptious. My stomach is growling and thinking of making this noodle dish soon. I currently don't have any Soba noodles. Do you think it is okay to use Star Anise brand brown rice noodles which is the only noodles I have for now?
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
MT
i just love this recipe. taste good blitz of color!
Thank you for sharing. I also added grated ginger with the garlic and replaced the peanut butter with tahini (also added a little black vinegar at the end. Truly scrumptious ; )
My husband and I are starting out vegetarian trying to get advice from your site on making healthy choices for our family. This is an amazing easy dish for a wonderful family meal! Thank you for all your hard work with your you tube channel as well!
Amazing dish. Very tasty 😋
Will definitely be making it again 😊
Love, Love, Love this recipe! I've made it a few times now. The sauce is phenomenal and I find that it is delicious with any veggies you would normally add to a stir fry.
I make this once a month. It’s easy. Last a while and I make extra peanut sauce for satay wraps during the week.
One of my favorite recipes. My husband even enjoys it and he swears that we need meat in everything haha
One of my go to recipes! Very cheap one yet suuuper healthy and delicious, thank you :)
Thank you so much for this wholesome recipe! 💕 I woke up craving this dish. It is one that I make often. I added a little zucchini I had on hand to the stirfry.
Thank you for this recipe. We love the taste of it so much. It combines three of my husbands favourite ingredients: peanut butter, sesame oil and chilli ... so I was sure he would like it, when I made it the first time. And he did like it :-)! So much, that he thought about how to use the sauce with other ingredients. So yesterday we had it with bell peppers, carrots and bean sprouts on top of rice. While eating we realised that it reminds us of the Korean bibimbap ... which is one of my favourite dishes. So, thank you again!
So flavorful and comforting, my family and i LOVE this dish!! It's perfect for using up any veggies you have on hand, you really can't go wrong with it. Definitely a go to recipe in our house!
Made it for the first time, just love it! Really easy and comforting. I'm excited to try some new variations! If someone has some tips for great combinations of veggies etc. i would love to hear it.
Made the soba noodles & sause but with brocolli, eggplant, tofu and edamame - also amazing!!
This recipe is one of our most favorite go-to meals. We make it all the time. It is super flavorful, satisfying and simple to make.
I suggested the recipe to a relative and they now make it often as well. I place this in my top ten favorite recipes!
Tried the recipe today and it was delicious. We added few more spices because Indians like more of them in their meals. Thanks a lot!
This is delicious! The recipe is easy to follow and it came out great the first time.
This is a great recipe, I make it every other week or so! Super delicious, quick, and easy to customize!
Made this for dinner, so easy to whip up and that sauce makes it absolutely delicious! My granddad doesn't usually like noodle dishes but he loved this so much. Its a must try:))
This is so quick and easy and delcious I love it! I even have got my dad involved making the sauce and he doesn't even like cooking :)
I have made this at least 6 times. It’s is so delicious and packed with healthy flavor.
Great recipe! This can be made with things I’m sure most people have in their pantry already, and you can use whatever veggies you have! This is our go to quick dinner! Flavorful, easy, healthful, and cost effective!
I've made this for work lunch and it was great for 3-4 days, although it was best right after cooking! I added Shiitake mushrooms and fried tofu cubes. The sauce is deliciously creamy and well balanced!
my absolute go to recipe. It's quick, easy and versatile because you can just use what is in season or some frozen vegetables. The sauce was interesting. It is not like any sauce I have had in the past. It's acidic in a good way, creamy and thanks to the hoisin has a lot of depth in it. If the PUL Team sees this then please know that I would be delighted by more such sauces. I just love new flavours <3
We love this recipe, we've made so many times. It's great warm for dinner and then cold the next day for lunch. I've made it with Dandan noodles and soba noodles and both are great
this is definitely a confort meal for me, i love it. i always add chickpeas as well, to get some protein, but it’s so good both ways.
I love this recipe, it's really tasty and easy to make!
I love this recipe so much! It is easy for people like me who are not very good at cooking, and perfect for the summer weather as the lime sauce makes it quite refreshing. I really appreciate all of the suggested swaps-BTW for anyone who can't get soba noodles, I have tried this recipe with wholemeal spaghetti and it's just as good :)
This recipe has a special place in my heart as it was my introduction to Pick Up Limes in 2019. My friend made it for me and told me about the PUL videos and ever since then I haven't looked back!
I make this recipe at least once a month and it is among my favourites for it's ease and simplicity and ultimately, it's taste! I love colourful meals and, to me, this meal is perfection.
Fun fact: I had disliked peanut butter my whole life until this recipe converted me!
This is so good! We have made it many times and it's really easy to make😊
We've made this so many times. It's a great recipe for when we only have veggies left that don't seem to go together at first glance and it always tastes great.
This is delicious. We've made it repeatedly.
This was delicious! I think I ate this cold like a noodle salad.
This tastes incredible! I didn't have any hoisin sauce but it tasted awesome
(TLDR; This is probably my favorite recipe I’ve tried so far!) As a meat eater, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined following a vegan for recipes. Not only do I do that, the PUL team is the ONLY team I follow for recipes! Everything I’ve tried so far is so so good! I’d love to eat less meat, and I feel like I’ll get there sooner with this team. I went out and bought all of these sauces to make this dish. Worried a bit, because I NEVER use hoisin sauce, soy sauce, or sriracha in my home. (Video idea! Recipes for those random items in the home!) Tried this recipe and BAM! Instant love. I had to force myself to stop eating noodles it was SO GOOD!!! I can’t have noodles everyday of my life though, haha. What to do with all the extra sauces?
If you're looking for a new fav recipe - THIS IS IT! My Boyfriend loved it so much, we're cooking it all the time haha!
Thank you Sadia (and Team!), for being the best vegan chef we know and love <3
When making this recipe I quartered the peanut butter and doubled all the other sauce ingredients to make it match my taste and it was delicious! And I think I added crunchy fried tofu too!
This has been on regular rotation in our house since it came out. The sauce is perfection! I normally stretch it a bit with some broth which I add to the noodles at the end as needed. Love how many veggies are snuck in there and non-vegans can add chicken/shrimp as well. Thank you so much for this recipe.
This one is comfort food to me <3 Creamy, sweet, tangy with a bit of heat. Peanuts, cashews, lime, tons of veggies, what's not to love ? A great way to enjoy yourself a the end of the day, it really is delicious and easy enough to make for weeknights ! 🥰 Thank you again Sadia for everything.
Absolutely love this! I was missing hoisin sauce so I used Tamarind sauce instead, as well as using Maple syrup instead of agave syrup. Still delicious. Thank you so much, I keep recommending your channel and webpage to everyone!
Thank you so much for your amazing recipes!! I'm always blown away by how healthy yet wholesome and delicious they turn out to be!!
Quick question, I want to try this recipe but I'm not able to get my hands on the hoisin sauce and sriracha hot sauce needed for the peanut sauce. I think they are simply just not available where i live. Can i leave them out without it affecting the taste much?Or are there any other substitutes?
Thank you so much for this recipe Sadia - it is so delicious!🤤 We cooked it today with my boyfriend and enjoyed it a lot. Also it was the first time we used peanut butter this way, we always have it in our oatmeal, but we really loved it!!😍
And biiig thumbs up for your new website & recipe design - it is lovely!
This is my new favorite go-to meal! I subbed sriracha in for sambal oelek which I had never tried before. So good! I also like your trick to shake the sauce in a mason jar to mix it.
We've made this so many times!! Love!!
