This is a recipe that I've tweeked and adjusted to yield a warm noodle side-dish. It can also stand alone as a main dish. It's quick and easy and full of flavor! I serve it with Chicken Satay. Leftovers are yummy hot or cold. Ingredients:
12 ounces linguine |
4 tablespoons sesame oil |
1/2 cup green onion, chopped |
1 cup finely shredded carrot |
2 cups frozen stir fry vegetables |
3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic |
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced |
1/4 cup honey |
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
3 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1/2 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.
2. Drain and return to pot.
3. Add 2 TBSP sesame oil and toss to coat.
4. Set aside.
5. Heat remaining 2 TBSP sesame oil in heavy pot over medium-high heat.
6. Add green onions, carrots, stir-fry veggies, garlic and ginger.
7. Saute until vegetables soften, about 4 minutes.
8. Add honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and chili-garlic sauce and mix well.
9. Simmer sauce 2 minutes.
10. Pour sauce over pasta and toss well.
11. Transfer to platter and serve warm.
12. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
13. Yields 8 side dish servings or 4 main dish servings.
14. **Chili-Garlicsauce can be increased or decreased depending on how spicy you like your dish.
15. As written, this recipe has some heat, but is still edible for my toddler son.
