    Sometimes I have mad cravings for noodles, and not a whole lot of time so my go-to is usually something I can whip up in less than 30 minutes.

    As long as you've got all the ingredients, this noodle dish will come together quickly.

    It may be November, but I'm still dreaming of summery noodles. Maybe because I'm sorta dreading the holiday feasting (re: overindulging) that's about to come.

    I love thick peanut-style and creamy sauces for my noodles, but I also like switching things up -- so for this recipe, I'm using SunButter's Creamy Sunflower Butter, which is great for people who do have peanut or nut allergies.

    These noodles are a variation of cold sesame noodles meets Chinese dandan noodles, but lightened up with some fresh vegetables. You could almost say this is a noodle salad of sorts.

    Speaking of salads, this nutty-tasting sauce would be amazing spiced up with some chili oil for additional kick, and served with my Vietnamese Salad Rolls.

    Served cold, these creamy, savoury noodles are refreshing from the crunch of the cucumbers, and satisfying with the addition of shredded chicken.

    Variations

    Omit the chicken if you're vegetarian, or change it up and add tofu. 

    Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time on roasting your own.
