Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti or noodles of choice
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (creamy or natural)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce

- 1 cup vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas (optional, julienned or chopped)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the peanut butter sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sriracha (or chili garlic sauce), and warm water. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
If desired, prepare the vegetables by julienning or chopping carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and sauté the vegetables (if using) for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables (if using) and pour the peanut butter sauce over the top. Toss everything together with tongs or a spatula until the noodles are evenly coated and warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Peanut Butter and Ginger Noodles!
