Hi, My name is Dia, and I am a brain surgery survivor many times over. I have been diagnosed over the years with, in addition to my Dia’s Macrobiotic Sesame and Peanut Noodles

I know what you’re thinking, “Macrobiotic???”. Yes, Macrobiotic. Macrobiotic cooking is very similar to cooking vegan: no eggs, dairy, meat, etc. In addition–no refined sugar! If you are feeling sluggish, try going macrobiotic for 30 days and see how much better you feel!
The sesame and peanut sauce in this dish is incredibly moreish, you won’t be able to put it down!
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup peanut butter (organic and sugar free)
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup roasted peanuts
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (bought from health store)
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root (optional)
1 pound soba noodles
2 medium garlic cloves (chopped)
2 chili peppers
2 tablespoons of Safflower oil
Take out two frying pans.
Split the safflower oil into both pans.
In one pan pour the sesame seeds, and toast them until they turn golden brown.
In the other pan fry the soba noodles along with the chopped garlic and roasted peanuts.
In a food processor mix the chili peppers, peanut butter, toasted sesame oil and soy sauce.
Add this mixture to the soba noodles and stir for 5 minutes.
Pour the sesame seeds on top of the noodles, and mix thoroughly together.
Add in the ginger root if you wish, and serve while hot.
Eat with chopsticks! If you want

Thanks guys! These noodles were fantastic.
I love peanuts and sesame seeds, so I couldn’t
go wrong. There are also so many health benefits
from sesame seeds, as they are full of calcium!
