Peanut Noodles

Ingredients

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tbsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (I always substitute with either sesame oil or chili oil)
• at least a tablespoon of grated ginger (I use a microplane)
• at least 6 gloves of garlic, pressed
• optional: crushed red pepper flakes (if not using chili oil)

Other:

• 1 pound pasta (or however much you want at a given time)
• scallions or green onions or something similar for garnishing

Combine all the sauce ingredients, adjusting amounts to taste. Cook and strain pasta. Pour sauce over pasta and mix. I prefer the sauce not cooked, so I sometimes keep a little extra to add after the initial mixing since it cooks a little when added to hot pasta in a hot pot.

Note

This proportions can be altered to taste. I usually make the recipe to use for one meal and then freeze the rest, so I only cook however much pasta I want on a given day. Even when frozen, the sauce is still soft enough to scoop some of it out.
