Thai Peanut Noodles

This peanut noodles with vegetables is one of my favorite meals ever! Spaghetti noodles are tossed in a flavorful (and slightly spicy) peanut sauce then topped with red peppers, roasted broccoli, peas, green onions, and cilantro. Make it and watch it be devoured.

Ingredients

  • 2 heads broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper
  • 8 oz spaghetti noodles
  • 5 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced (about 2 cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce I always use low-sodium
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce add more for spicier dish (the 1 1/2 tsp is more family friendly)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 red pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 oz sugar snap peas or a small handful
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1/3 cup peanuts
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Place broccoli on baking sheet. Drizzle the sesame oil overtop. Toss to coat. Sprinkle salt and pepper overtop. Toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes or until slightly tender. 
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the noodles and cook until al dente.  
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat add the sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring often for about 2 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, chili garlic sauce, and honey. Stir until smooth. Stir in the sliced red peppers and snow peas. 
  • Drain the pasta and add the noodles into the skillet full of the sauce. Toss to coat so that the noodles are covered in the saucy goodness. 
  • When broccoli is finished roasting, remove from oven and transfer the vegetables to the skillet. Sprinkle the peanuts, green onions, and cilantro on top. Toss to coat. 
  • Portion into individual servings. Enjoy!
