THAI PASTA WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Thai Pasta with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

We love how the whole wheat pasta and crisp, raw vegetables blend with the rich and creamy peanut sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice really brightens the flavor of the dish. Some eat it hot, but my husband and I prefer to wait until it's closer to room temperature. -Donna McCallie, Lake Park, Florida

WHOLE WHEAT NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND VEGETABLES



WHOLE WHEAT NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE AND VEGETABLES image

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 14

For Peanut Sauce:
1 small piece of lemon grass, chopped
Freshly grated ginger-to taste
1 cup water
½ cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1½ tablespoons sugar
Whole Wheat Spaghetti (Soba noodles would work too)
Broccoli
Red Pepper Strips
Green Pepper Strips
Carrot Strips
Cilantro
Sesame Seeds

Steps:

  • To make the peanut sauce: In a small sauce pan, simmer lemon grass in the water for 5 minutes, strain out the lemongrass and add the remaining ingredients to the water. Whisk well and simmer an additional 5 minutes. If the sauce doesn't thicken, whisk for one minute over medium heat. Boil a pot of water and add a little bit of salt. Add the pasta and cook until done. Drain and set aside. Steam or blanch the vegetables. I steamed mine. In a large bowl, add the pasta and vegetables. Toss. Stir in some peanut sauce. I didn't measure anything because I was making the dish for one. If you are making it for several people, make a box of pasta and lots of veggies. Slowly stir in the sauce and taste. You probably won't need all of it. When I made it for myself, I probably only used 2-3 Tablespoons of the sauce. It is pretty flavorful. Just add a little as you go and save the leftover sauce in the refrigerator.
