A staple for me in college, this is a sweet, salty, nutty dish that can be cooked up in less than 15 minutes. Measurements for the sauce can be adjusted for your taste, but with these ingredients, you can't go wrong! I use pre-washed, pre-cut broccoli florets to cut down on prep time as well.

Time 10m

Yield 4 plates, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons peanut butter (natural or organic)
1 -2 dash rice vinegar
2 -3 dashes hot sauce (Tabasco)
1 teaspoon salt
8 -10 ounces Asian noodles, preferably soba
2 tablespoons sesame oil
sprinkles of black and white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Mix the first 8 ingredients together in a nonreactive bowl and set aside.
  • Cook your noodles in a large pot of boiling water, following the directions on the package (probably for 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse well with cold water. Return to pot and mix noodles with 2 tablespoons sesame oil.
  • If you want to eat your noodles cold, let them cool in the oil before mixing the peanut sauce with them. This will help the flavors stay bright. If you're eating them right away, mix the peanut sauce in right away and enjoy. Sprinkle sesame seeds on individual portions for extra flavor and crunch.

PEANUT BUTTER NOODLES



Peanut Butter Noodles image

Very nutritious and delicious! My kids love this recipe. You can use Udon or Rice noodles....but I just use spaghetti. Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. Also delicious with grilled shrimp or chicken for a heartier pasta. I have found the new Barilla Plus Spaghetti is GREAT in this. It has a hearty flavor that really compliments the dish.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons chili paste (optional)
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces spaghetti

Tips:

  • Use the right peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter is the best choice for this recipe, as it creates a smooth and creamy sauce. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use it, but be sure to chop the peanuts very finely before adding them to the sauce.

  • Make it a complete meal: This recipe is a great base for a complete meal. You can add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the noodles. You can also add some vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
