About This Recipe:
Sometimes you just want a simple and easy meal of carbs and sauce in a bowl, and this spicy peanut noodle dish fits that description. If you have never tried peanut butter in an Asian sauce, trust me it’s super delicious! The peanut sauce is quite savory even though it is made with peanut butter, and the fresh cilantro and scallions bring the dish to life. I recommend using the Twin Marquis wheat noodles, which is fortunately available on Freshdirect, but you could also use udon noodles, lo mein noodles, etc. I prefer eating these noodles at room temperature, but you could also serve it slightly chilled for a quick lunch on a hot day.
Enjoy!
