Peanut Butter Noodles Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 Peanut sauce recipe (creates about 3/4 cup peanut sauce) )

8 oz thin noodles of choice (such as spaghetti, udon, or rice noodles)

dash of sesame oil (optional - for noodles and cooking veggies)

1 small/medium red bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1 cup shelled edamame*

1 cup shredded carrot

diced green onion

chopped cilantro

chopped peanuts

lime wedges

Directions

Start by prepping your easy peanut sauce by following the recipe listed above (also linked in notes). This should take only about 5 minutes or less. Set aside.

Cook your noodles to package instructions. *Save 1/4 cup pasta water in case you need it to thin your sauce later. Rinse cooked noodles under cool water. To prevent sticking, toss noodles with a dash of sesame oil.

While your noodles are cooking, begin to prep your veggies.Warm a saucepan over medium heat with a dash of oil (I like sesame oil for this recipe). Add your sliced red pepper first, cooking for a few minutes. Then finish with your shelled edamame and shredded carrots, cooking only for another few minutes until warmed through.

In a large bowl, combine your cooked noodles with your peanut sauce first - gently combine. If the sauce is too thick, add in a few tbsp of pasta water. Then add your veggies and toss until combined. Serve right away. Top with diced green onion, chopped peanuts, cilantro, lime wedges, or whatever you enjoy!
