So, I couldn't wait to try it out. This is what we made that night. If you've ever had peanut sauce at a thai restaurant you probably fell in love. Well, I did. The sauce in this dish mixed with the veggies and noodles was awesome. Do you remember the scene in Ratatouille where they mix the cheese and the strawberry and fireworks go off in the background?? That's what it was like while we ate this dish.
Thai Peanut Noodles
What You’ll Need:
3 cloves garlic
½ c peanut butter
1/2 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp rice vinegar (or whatever you have)
3 Tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ c olive oil
½ Tbsp sesame seed oil (optional)
¾-1 lb. angel hair pasta (or whatever you have)
½ green onions chopped
a bunch of cilantro
½ bell pepper julienned (a fancy word for thinly sliced)
a bunch of green beans
The Process:
Boil a medium sized pot of water. Boil green beans until al dente. Take green beans out, slice, and set aside. Cook pasta in the boiling water until al dente. In the meantime, throw garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and sesame seed oil in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
Toss with pasta, peppers, onions, and green beans. Garnish with lots of cilantro!
