Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti or noodles of your choice
- 0.33 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup shredded carrots or julienned vegetables (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sriracha (or chili garlic sauce), water, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked and cooled noodles with the peanut sauce until thoroughly coated. Make sure the sauce is evenly distributed.
Add the green onions, sesame seeds, and shredded carrots or julienned vegetables (if using) to the noodles. Gently toss everything together.
Serve the peanut butter sesame noodles chilled or at room temperature. Optionally garnish with extra sesame seeds, green onions, or a drizzle of sesame oil.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving as the sauce may thicken when chilled.
