Peanut Noodles

I thought I had posted this a long time ago. But I couldn't find it. So this may be a repeat. We have this often. It's really easy, the kids love it. We usually do it when Aaron isn't home because he gets tired of Thai food. He's gets a lot of it at lunches, journal clubs etc. I do it pretty much as written, only I use the whole green onion and just a dash of red pepper.

Peanut Noodles

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced (white parts only)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until done. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, combine oil and onions in a small skillet. Saute over low heat until tender. Add ginger; cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in peanut butter, soy sauce, water, vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
  3. Toss noodles with sauce, and serve.
