Pasta
- 5 cups spiralized sweet potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable broth
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Sauce
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1 Tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon lemongrass paste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can whole coconut milk
- 2 Tablespoons tamari
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 4 Thai chiles (optional)

Instructions
- Bring 2 tablespoons of oil to medium heat in a large skillet. Add sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and vegetable broth and toss to coat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the sweet potato noodles from the skillet – set them aside in a bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and return to medium heat. Toss scallions and garlic into the pan and saute for minutes.
- Add lemongrass paste, ginger, and thai chiles and continue to stir.
- Add peanut butter, tamari, and coconut milk and stir to combine. Cook the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally – the sauce will thicken in consistency.
- Return the sweet potato noodles to the sauce and toss them to coat thoroughly – tongs work best for this.
