I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; there’s just something awesome about food in a bowl.

You may have noticed that I have a bit of a thing for one-dish meals. I don’t usually like to prepare three or four dishes to fill out a plate.

I’d much rather make one big bowl of food and then sit cross-legged on my couch and stuff my face while watching Netflix.

Noodle bowls are absolutely perfect for my style of food. I mean, who doesn’t like noodles?

Now, I know lots of you want to walk away right now because you don’t have a spiralizer for the sweet potato. I use this KitchenAid attachment.

But if you’re looking for a stand-alone model I recommend this spiralizer.

I put off owning one for AGES because I thought it was just this annoying trendy thing, but now I use mine all the time.

If you’re not on the spiralizing bandwagon, you can make this by just dicing up the sweet potato instead.

But it won’t be as pretty. Sorry.

Funny story: when I was planning this recipe I intended to use cashews instead of peanuts.

As it turned out, the bag of what I thought were cashews in my pantry were macadamia nuts and that just didn’t seem right.

I used peanuts instead and really loved the way it added LOTS of crunch. I’ll leave the decision up to you, but either way I highly recommend toasting them prior to using.

Now, regarding the soba noodles. I absolutely adore soba noodles (especially in easy soba noodle stir fries), but if you’re not a fan of buckwheat you can swap them out for another type of noodle.

Lo mein noodles would be great, and I have a feeling that ramen noodles or even yakisoba noodles would be tasty, too.

The sauce I used is similar to Bibimbap sauce – you’ll need gochujang to make it! I haven’t ever found a suitable substitute for the Korean hot pepper paste, so you’ll just have to find some gochujang to make it. Get some from Amazon here.

The sauce totally makes these sweet potato noodle bowls – you’re going to love them!
