Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ounces Chinese wheat noodles, Japanese noodles,

or linguine (udon, soba, or somen)

1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil

3 cloves garlic -- minced (3 to 4)

1/2 cup vegetable stock or water

1/4 cup natural-style peanut butter

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger -- to taste (1 to 2)

1 tablespoon honey or brown rice syrup

1 teaspoon Asian or Thai hot sauce -- plus more to taste

1 teaspoon salt -- plus more to taste

1 large carrot -- grated

2 scallions -- sliced (2 to 3)

1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts

 

Luscious and nutty, this easy dish incorporates favorite Asian flavors.

 

Cook the noodles in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al dente, then

drain.

 

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low

heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the oil and garlic to the

container of a food processor and combine with the stock, peanut butter,

cilantro, ginger, honey, hot sauce, and salt. Process until completely smooth.

(this can also be done with an immersion blender in its accompanying container).

 

Combine the noodles with the sauce in a large serving bowl. Serve at once,

topping each serving with the a small amount each of the carrot, scallions, and

peanuts.
