Description

Easy Peanut Noodles feature a creamy sauce made with peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, and rice wine vinegar. Toss it with your favorite noodles and veggies for a quick and nutritious weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 1 tsp ginger paste *(see notes) or one 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Optional: sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, julienne carrots and peppers for garnish


Instructions

  1. Combine ginger, garlic, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce and water in a blender and blend on high for 1 minute until creamy and smooth. There shouldn't be any bits of ginger or garlic left.
  2. When you're ready to serve, toss with noodles or as a dressing for salad

Notes

  • Ginger paste is not the same as dried ground ginger. You can find fresh ginger paste in the produce section and most grocery stores. It's a quicker alternative to grating fresh ginger root by hand.
