This recipe is perfect when you need an adventurous side dish to go with lot of different Asian main courses. I serve this with Korean style flank steak, Thai Shrimp, Green curry chicken etc. It's smooth, spicy, peanut taste is sooo good.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Chinese egg noodles ( I have found that using whole wheat spaghetti noodles work as well. I also usually throw in the whole box of pasta with this same amount of sauce and it's perfect) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil shopping list
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil shopping list
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal shopping list
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, minced shopping list
- 1 teaspoon red chili paste shopping list
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter shopping list
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar shopping list
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce shopping list
- 6 tablespoons hot water shopping list
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds shopping list
- fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the noodles in large pot of boiling unsalted water over medium heat until barely tender and still firm. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water until cool. Drain the noodles really well and transfer to a wide bowl; toss with the sesame oil so they don't stick together.
- In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium-low flame. Add the green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili paste. Cook and stir for a minute until soft and fragrant. Mix in the brown sugar, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, and hot water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the peanut butter has smoothed out. Toss the noodles with the peanut sauce until well coated. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with the sesame seeds and cilantro. It gets better everyday!

This is a wonderful side dish with almost any "plain" meat. I love to serve this in summer instead of pasta salad with grilled chicken breasts. Sometimes I use rice noodles instead of egg noodles and serve fresh lime wedges and bean sprouts on the ...more
