Ingredients

• 300 grams spaghetti or other long noodles
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 4 tablespoons warm water
• 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti or any long noodles of your choice and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and warm water. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more water, one teaspoon at a time, if the sauce is too thick.

Step 3

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or honey for sweetness.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles and nut sauce. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Step 5

Transfer the noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped peanuts, chopped green onions, and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, nutty noodles!
