Description

These simple peanut butter sesame noodles are a hit with adults and kids.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp + 1 dark tsp sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir often.

Add the peanut butter and whisk until smooth. Simmer the sauce until it thickens approximately 5-8 minutes.

Stir the cooked pasta into the warm sauce. Stir in the sliced snow peas. Toss the pasta and peas in the sauce until evenly coated.

Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Make sure to mince the ginger pretty finely if you don’t want big chunks of ginger in your sauce. I like the texture the minced ginger adds to the sauce but if you prefer, you can also grate the ginger. If you use grated ginger, you can reduce the amount to 1 tbsp.

These noodles aren’t spicy but they do have a little heat. You can reduce the red pepper to 1/8 tsp or omit it if you don’t like heat.

You can use 2 cups of water and 2 bullion cubes if you don’t have chicken stock on hand.

This recipe is easy to scale up or down. I usually do a half batch when I am making it as a side for two.
