Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and add to a saute pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Any oil will work here, I used olive.

Step 3

Saute over low heat for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Add in the grated ginger and saute for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Remove from heat and add in all remaining sauce ingredients (start with 1/3 cup of water) and whisk together until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

How much you need will depend on the brand of peanut butter you used as well as your personal preference.

Step 6

Taste and add more soy sauce, sriracha, or any other seasonings as desired. I usually add more soy sauce because I like it saltier.

Step 7

Add about 1/2 of the sauce to cooked pasta and mix together. I intentionally made extra sauce in case you want to add some chicken, tofu, veggies etc.

Step 8

I don't recommend adding all of the sauce at once because it may be too much depending on your preference, so start with 1/2 and add more depending on your needs. I usually end up adding all of it because I like it saucey, but up to you!

Step 9

Serve with crushed peanuts, scallions, red pepper flakes and enjoy! Delicious alongside veggies and protein of choice.
