A delectable assortment of vegetables interspersed in the finest rice noodles. The noodles are coated with a heaping spoon of 100% peanuts peanut butter, a giant glug of soy sauce and a sprinkling of my favorite hot paste.

What is the concept behind "oil free"? Peanut butter is quite fatty and also has unsaturated fat. Is it avoiding vegetable oils? I'm genuinely curious. I thought it was avoiding fat altogether.
It's no refined oils, but yes in general the idea is low fat too. Refined oils are just empty calories. A serving of 2 tbsp of this peanut butter would have 3 g fibre, 8 g protein, 2% of my daily calcium and 6% of my daily iron. Peanut oil would have none of that.
This was the only thing I managed to eat yesterday, so I'm not all that worried about the fat.
This is the website of one of the more famous proponents of a whole food plant based no oil diet: https://nutritionfacts.org/ Like I said in another comment, I'm not a strict adherent but I don't keep refined oil in the house and I try to make choices that align with it when I can muster enough fucks.
Hi there. Stumbled across this from “All.”
How come you didn’t use any oil to cook your veggies?
A recipe like this wouldn't normally use oil (maybe a chili oil but not to cook it), but I included that term because I think sometimes people think whole food plant based no oil food is a pile of avocados and fancy lettuce.
Oil is empty calories. It's extracted from its source but you don't get any of the good stuff in the foods. I'm not a super strict noiler but I don't keep/use cooking oils. I'll buy potato chips on occasion tho.
100% peanuts peanut butter?Like the only ingredient is peanuts?
I'm kinda high so I don't remember what it's called
I see it called "natural" peanut butter but then again that term is basically meaningless.
Looks tasty!
