Directions

1. Spicy Sesame Sauce: Whisk together sugar, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Break noodles into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces. Place in large bowl and pour boiling water over top and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Drain well.
3. Meanwhile, place Gardenburger* Malibu patties onto parchment paper-lined sheet pan and bake in 400º F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until internal temperature is 165º F (74º C). Dice and keep warm.
4. Heat oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium heat. Stir fry onion, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes. Add carrots and peppers; saute for 4 minutes. Add diced Gardenburger* Malibu patties, noodles, cilantro and reserved sesame sauce. Cook until heated through before serving.
Tip: To reduce the heat in the sesame sauce, reduce red pepper flakes to 1 tsp (5 mL).
