Step 1

Start by making your sauce - add all ingredients (except water) to a small bowl and whisk together until combined. Finish off by adding 3 tbsp water plus any additional until desired consistency is reached.

Step 2

Next, add 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic to a large skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes over medium heat or until onions have started to brown. Remove from pan and set aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

To the same large skillet, add another 1-2 tbsp of olive oil along with the sliced mushrooms. Cook for ~5 minutes over medium heat or until they have browned nicely.

Step 4

Add the snap peas to the pan and saute for 2-3 minutes or until cooked to preferred consistency.

Step 5

Re-add the onion/garlic mixture back to the skillet along with the rice noodles (cooked according to package instructions) and stir together.

Step 6

Top with preferred quantity of spicy cashew sauce and stir together until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Optional: garnish with chopped cilantro, crushed red pepper flakes, and chopped toasted cashews before serving.
