Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles

Once Again Organic Peanut Butter

Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

½ cup Once Again Organic Peanut Butter

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

¼ cup warm water

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

¼ cup fresh lime juice

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp dark brown sugar

1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced

2 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

2 tsp Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce

1 clove garlic, chopped

 

1 8 oz box or bag Pad Thai rice noodles

 

1 cup carrots, julienned or shredded

1 cup red bell peppers, julienned

1 cup snow peas, julienned

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 lime, wedged

 

1.       Place the peanut butter, cilantro, water, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, hot chili sauce and garlic in a blender.  Purée until smooth.  Set aside.

2.       Heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat.  Add the vegetables, season lightly if desired, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables have softened but still maintain some crunch.  Set aside.
