Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) dried spaghetti or linguine
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup (30 g) roasted peanuts, chopped
- Optional: shredded carrots, cucumber, cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, brown sugar, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in hot water until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and peanut sauce. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
- Divide among bowls and top with sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, and any optional toppings like shredded carrots or cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water before reheating to loosen the sauce.
- If the sauce thickens too much, thin with a little warm water or extra soy sauce.
