Ingredients

  • 8 oz linguine
Peanut Sauce
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic 
  • 1-2 tbsp Gochujang adjusted to spice preference
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp
  • 1 cup water divided
Edamame Topping
  • 2 cups edamame
  • ¼ cup mint finely diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely diced
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Add all of the sauce ingredients into a blender other than the chili crisp and water and blend until smooth.
  3. Spray a pan with cooking spray and lay the uncooked noodles flat in a 9x13 pan. Pour the spicy peanut sauce over the noodles.
  4. Sprinkle the top of the sauce with 1-2 tablespoons of chile crunch. Cover the pan with tinfoil and transfer to the oven.
  5. Bake for 18 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and use tongs to stir the peanut noodles. Sauce with thicken and noodles should be 70% cooked.
  7. Pour in ½ cup of warm water and stir with the noodles to thin the sauce and allow the noodles to cook more. **If the sauce seems too thick after adding water, feel free to mix in another ¼ - ½ cup more. This will depend on what type of peanut butter you use**.
  8. Cover the noodles back up and place back in the oven for another 12-15 minutes (or until noodles are al dente).
  9. While the noodles are cooking, stir together all of the ingredients for the edamame salad.
  10. Remove noodles from the oven, add another ¼ cup of hot water to thin the sauce (it should be a luscious peanut butter sauce, not thick or clumpy).
  11. Serve hot and top with edamame salad + crushed peanuts on top. If desired, top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, a little sesame oil, and enjoy!

Notes

  • To reheat, add another ¼ cup of water to the pasta and then microwave. Stir together and the noodles/sauce will thin making it easier to enjoy!
