Peanut Sesame Pasta Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Place peanut butter in a large bowl.
  • Gradually add hot liquid ( for changes of flavor instead of Chinese black tea try : cream of coconut,coconut milk, chicken broth) and stir until smooth.
  • At first it will look curdled but will become smooth.
  • Add more of chosen liquid to reach the consistency you want.
  • I like mine pourable like thick cream.
  • Then add the honey ( btw honey keeps the mixture smooth and pliable ) garlic, soy,ginger, vinegar ( could be red wine, rice wine, garlic vinegar, lime juice,lemon juice) hot sauce, increasing those flavors you like.
  • The sauce may be covered and refrigerated at this point.
  • If it thickens under refrigeration just thin with a bit more hot liquid .
  • If you use the cream of coconut which is very sweet you may want to omit the honey as also with Coconut milk (liquid from the fresh coconut ) is less sweet and thick.
  • I personally like the base recipe with the black tea but people's taste vary . Chicken broth ( non vegan of course ) is my 2nd favorite version with the coconut liquid last.
  • But all three are super. You may even prepare the pasta ahead of time.
  • Cook al dente and rinse and drain.
  • Toss with some oil and keep covered until use.
  • Try Chinese or Japanese types of noodles or pasta for a nice change.
  • Then to present: place pasta on a colorful platter.
  • Now stir in the oriental sesame seed oil into peanut mixture ( it tends to dissipate and that's why its added just before serving for best flavor )
  • Garnish platter with black & white sesame seeds, radish flowers, green onion curls and chopped cucumber or even baby whole canned corn.
