Description
A quick and satisfying dish of peanut noodles layered with a rich peanut sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 16 oz pasta (spaghetti or rice noodles)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (more or less to taste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 garlic cloves (pressed or grated)
- 1 tablespoon ginger root (grated)
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Begin cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Remember to reserve one cup of the pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Whisk everything until well combined to form the peanut sauce.
- After draining the pasta, add the peanut sauce directly onto the noodles. Stir well, and gradually add the reserved pasta water, adjusting the consistency as needed.
- Serve garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
Leftovers taste fantastic, so make a larger batch if you can. The flavors continue to meld and deepen over time.
