10-15 MINS

INGREDIENTS
220 grams of noodles of choice
80 ml reserved pasta water (start with 60 ml)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1-inch piece of ginger root, chopped finely
125 grams smooth peanut butter
60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce of choice
Green onions, to garnish
Sesame seeds, to garnish

METHOD

1. Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and let cook until al dente while you prepare your sauce.

2. Be sure to reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water.

3. Chop the garlic and ginger really fine and set aside until ready to use. Use a large frying pan set to medium heat, add the olive oil.

4. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger and let saute for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Reduce heat to low/medium and add the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey and sriracha.

5. Let simmer, stirring often, until combined well. If the sauce appears to be chunky, continue whisking together, breaking down the peanut butter with the whisk or spoon until smooth.

6. Add the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water and mix together until well combined and the sauce begins to turn silky and creamy.

7. Add the remaining pasta water if you want the sauce a bit thinner and even creamier. Dish up and top with green onions and sesame seeds.

TIP
