Scale
  • 8 ounces of spaghetti or rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili paste (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and crushed Szechuan peppercorns. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, peanut butter, honey, and water until smooth.

  7. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the dish.
