Noodles and Vegetables with Peanut Sauce

 

1 pound spaghetti noodles

1/2 cup peanuts

2 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

4 teaspoons distilled white vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 cup water

2 medium carrots, julienned

1/3 pound (1 cup) snowpeas, sliced

1 cup roasted sesame oil

2 green onions, chopped

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and julienned

 

Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.

In a blender or food processor, combine the peanuts, garlic, soy

sauce, vinegar, sugar, cayenne pepper, and water. Blend until smooth

and set aside.

Steam the carrots and the snow peas until tender-crisp, about 7

minutes, and set aside.

Rinse the spaghetti with cold water and drain thoroughly. Pour into a

large mixing bowl. Toss with the sesame oil.

Add the peanut sauce, carrots, and snowpeas and toss. Just before

serving, top with the green onions and cucumber.

Makes 6 servings.
