Peanut Crunchy Munchy Food

NOODLE STIR-FRY WITH CRUNCHY PEANUTS

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter with the soy sauce and 50ml water, then add the peanuts. Put the noodles in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Stir them gently so they separate, then drain.
• Heat ½ tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan, and pour in the egg. Leave the egg to set, then chop it up with your spatula and tip it onto a plate. Heat the remaining oil in the wok. Stir-fry the veg until starting to wilt, then add the noodles and keep cooking. Return the egg to the wok, then spoon in the peanut mixture and toss. Divide between bowls, then sprinkle over more peanuts. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, if you like.

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the quick oats, rice krispies, coconut, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds. Stir to combine then add the rest of the bar ingredients (except for the water). Mix well. The dough should stick together easily. If not, mix in 1 Tbsp. of water at a time until dough sticks together nicely.
• Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment paper so that paper overlaps edges. Transfer the dough to the pan. Spread the dough out evenly and with your hands press dough VERY firmly into the pan.
• Place pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes (this can be done the day before or even a few days before).
• For the chocolate drizzle: combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and drizzly. You may also use a microwave at 50% power for 30-second increments stirring between each increment until smooth and drizzly.
• After bars have been in the freezer, remove the bars from the pan by grabbing onto the parchment paper flaps and place on a cutting board.
• Drizzle the chocolate evenly over the bars. The chocolate should harden quickly since the bars are cold.
• With a sharp knife, cut the bars into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
• Bars hold together best when stored in the fridge or freezer.

Cool completely, then cut into 20 (21/4-by-21/2-inch) rectangles. Then cut each rectangle in half to make 2 triangles. Makes 40 bars.
