Thai Noodles w/Spicy Peanut Sauce






This was a side dish I made to go with some Thai Fish Cakes I made the other night, but just add some chicken, shrimp, or pork, and it could absolutely be an entree dish.  The prep is fast and easy and this comes together in about 15 minutes.  Oh, and by the way, it is delicious the minute it's ready or the next day.  Yummmm!!!

THAI NOODLES WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE (4 side servings or 2 entree servings)

6 oz linguine
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/2 cup finely shredded carrots
1 cups frozen stir fry vegetables
1 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp peanut butter
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
3/4 tsp chili-garlic sauce, or to taste

Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package directions.  Drain and return to pot.  Add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and toss to coat.  Set aside.

Heat remaining 1 Tbsp sesame oil in heavy pot over medium-high heat.  Add green onions, carrots, stir-fry vegetables, 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 about 2 minutes.  Pour sauce over pasta and toss well.

Transfer to a platter and serve warm.  Garnish with green onions, if desired.
