Thai Noodles With Spicy Peanut Sauce

This is a recipe that i've tweeked and adjusted to yield a warm noodle side-dish. It can also stand alone as a main dish. It's quick and easy and full of flavor! I serve it with chicken satay. Leftovers are yummy hot or cold.

Steps

Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.

Drain and return to pot.

Add 2 tbsp sesame oil and toss to coat.

Set aside.

Heat remaining 2 tbsp sesame oil in heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Add green onions , carrots , stir-fry veggies , garlic and ginger.

Saute until vegetables soften , about 4 minutes.

Add honey , peanut butter , soy sauce , vinegar and chili-garlic sauce and mix well.

Simmer sauce 2 minutes.

Pour sauce over pasta and toss well.

Transfer to platter and serve warm.

Garnish with additional green onions , if desired.

Yields 8 side dish servings or 4 main dish servings.

Chili-garlicsauce can be increased or decreased depending on how spicy you like your dish.

As written , this recipe has some heat , but is still edible for my toddler son.
