Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Dried Noodles (Ramen, Udon, or Spaghetti)
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 3 tbsp Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce or Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup Hot Noodle Water

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, and chili sauce. Whisk together until smooth.
  • Before draining the noodles, scoop out 1/2 cup of hot noodle water. Slowly add a few tablespoons of this water to the peanut butter mixture while whisking until the sauce is creamy.
  • Drain the noodles and return them to the pot or a serving bowl. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss to coat.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and toss again. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts, green onions, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor. Adjust the sauce thickness with reserved noodle water as needed.
