Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1/2 Cucumber julienned
  • 1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts chopped, for garnish
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1-2 tsp Sriracha or to taste
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 large Carrot julienned or grated
  • 3 Green Onions thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 cup Hot Water to thin the sauce
  • 12 oz Noodles (e.g., Spaghetti or Udon)

Method

15m10m25m
  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and minced garlic.
  3. Gradually whisk in the hot water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  4. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked noodles, julienned carrot, and cucumber.
  5. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together until well-coated.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.

Notes

Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha. For a non-spicy version for kids, omit it entirely and serve it on the side for adults.
For extra protein, add shredded cooked chicken, grilled shrimp, or pan-fried tofu.
Feel free to use any long noodle you have on hand, such as spaghetti, linguine, soba, or ramen noodles.
