Meatless on Mondays: Peanut Soba Stir Fry

Inspired by Meatless Monday, a campaign encouraging people to cut back on their meat consumption one day a week, TakePart's "Meatless on Mondays" will give you every reason you need to skip the steak. By going vegetarian one day a week, you reduce your environmental impact, expand your palate, and improve your health. Plus, eating meatless is just plain kind to animals.

This week's Meatless Monday recipe comes from a very excited cook—Beth Moncel of Budget Bytes—who says the recipe was such a tasty success, she had to nibble while she photographed it.

Desiring a little extra bulk and fiber in her meal, Beth added soba noodles to an ordinary stir fry, then kicked the whole thing up a knotch with some peanut butter, hoisin sauce, and sriracha. Yow! Brace your tastebuds.
