Spicy Thai Noodles Recipe

6

Ingredients

1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
2 tbsp lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tbsp sesame oil
10 drops hot chili oil
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other thin pasta
3/4 cup olive oil
8 green onions, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp chopped peanuts

Preparation

Step 1

To make the sauce, whisk together until smooth the peanut butter, lemon juice and soy sauce. Then blend in the red pepper flakes, sesame oil and hot chili oil and set aside.

Cook the pasta according to package directions until done and then drain thoroughly. Toss with the olive oil. Let sit until cooled to room temperature, tossing frequently to prevent sticking and clumping. When cooled, pour the peanut mixture over the noodles and toss to coat.

Add green onions and cilantro leaves and toss to combine. Mound noodles on a platter to serve. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
