  • 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari

  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tsp sesame oil

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (more if you like it hot)

  • 1 cup sliced sweet onion

Directions

Make sauce by whisking tamari, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.

While pasta is cooking, heat peanut oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry peppers and onions. Add broccoli and mushrooms when onion and peppers begin to soften. Stir in tomatoes and sauce. Add noodles and mix well.
