Vegan supper last night...

...I wasn't trying to make it vegan, but it was.

We had a bunch of asparagus and some nice fresh corn.

I remembered some flat rice noodles in the pantry.

Removed the corn kernels, chopped the asparagus into 1" pieces, cut up 4 garlic cloves into thin rounds, same with 2 serrano chili peppers. Sauteed it all together with some olive oil, black pepper and red pepper flakes.

Meanwhile boiled some water and poured it over the rice noodles, leaving them to sit for the 10 minutes it took to saute everything.

Made a peanut sauce. I can't give exact amounts as I dithered around quite a bit until the flavor was just right. So this is approximate: 1/4 c peanut butter, 2 Tbsp. sesame oil, 2 Tbsp. light soy sauce, 3 Tbsp. water, 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp. agave nectar, red pepper flakes for heat.

After the vegetables were sauteed but the asparagus was still crisp, poured in the sauce, let it all simmer until the asparagus was just right. Served by placing noodles in a bowl and spooning the corn & asparagus with sauce on top.

Yummy!
