Ingredients
  

Main
  • 8 ounces of spaghetti or rice noodles
  • 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup of shredded carrots
  • 1 cup of chopped bell pepper
  • 2 green onions sliced for garnish
  • Chopped peanuts for topping

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large skillet or wok
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package instructions.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the shredded carrots and chopped bell pepper, sautéing until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles, tossing until everything is well coated.
  5. Continue to cook everything together for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of hot water until the desired consistency is reached.
  7. Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra kick, add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce!
