Low FODMAP Diet THAI NOODLES Recipe

YIELD: 4 SERVINGS

My husband took these noodles to work for lunch one day. He loved them—but he had no idea he
was eating tempeh! He’d thought it was chicken, and, of course, I took that as a compliment. Share
that story with anyone in your family who’s uncertain about trying tempeh. It goes so well with these
creamy, peanutty noodles. If you can tolerate it, pep them up with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
