Vegetarian Peanut Noodles





This peanut noodle recipe is delicious, and the sauce is super versatile.  Leave out the milk and water, and it is a great pizza sauce or satay marinade.  Coconut milk is delicious, and it is a very tasty non-dairy alternative for this meal.  

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. thin pasta (like spaghetti or linguini)
  • 3/4 C peanut butter
  • 1/3 C soy sauce
  • 1/4 C honey
  • 1 1/2 T lemon juice
  • 1 T ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 t Tabasco
  • 1/2 C warm water
  • 1/2 C milk
  • green onions, thinly sliced
  • bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • english cucumber, diced


Tip:  When measuring out peanut butter and/or honey, spray the measuring cup with Pam and it will slide out much easier!

Mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, and hot sauce.  (At this point you can use the sauce for pizza sauce or satay marinade.)
Mix in milk and water, and then stir in cooked noodles.  Noodles are best cooked "al dente" or cooked only to the point that there is still a bit of firmness to the texture.  This dish is pretty saucy and you don't want smushy pasta to go with it!
Chop up cucumbers, green onions, and red pepper, and sprinkle over top of plated pasta.



This dish is delicious as is, but you can obviously add a grilled chicken breast on top if you would prefer.
