veggie dinner 3: peanut noodles
All my good recipes come from my mother. Where she gets em, I have no idea. Maybe she can tell us in the comments. This one might be stretching the idea of "main dish" a little bit, but when we have it with a salad and some italian bread it's all the meal you could ever want.
Peanut Noodles
You can vary the spiciness of these noodles by adding or subtracting chile oil, as long as you have 7 tablespoons of oil all together. The sauce can be good on bread or vanilla ice cream (maybe) as well.
For the sauce, combine in the food processor:
1-3 cloves garlic
6 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
6 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon chile oil or other hot oil
In salted water, cook:
12 ounces linguini (more or less; or other similar noodles)
Drain the noodles, then mix with the sauce and (all optional):
scallions
diced cucumber
chopped peanuts
