Simple Sesame + Spice Rice Noodles
These vegan, gluten-free simple sesame + spice rice noodles are incredibly simple to make and ultra comforting. Warm rice noodles are cooked with a flavorful mixture of tamari, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, chili-garlic paste, almond butter, and a teensy bit of pure maple syrup.

Notes
*I use 4 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce; however, it's always best to start with less and add more depending on your preferred level of saltiness.
*I use Huy Fong brand chili-garlic sauce. It's more of a paste than standard sriracha sauce. If you opt for Sriracha sauce instead, you'll want to add a clove of sautéed minced garlic to make up for the lack of garlic in the sauce.
