Thai Peanut Noodles
Description
This Thai Peanut Noodles recipe uses long pasta such as linguine and includes sugar snap peas cooked briefly with the noodles for brightness and crispness. The peanut sauce blends creamy peanut butter with salty soy sauce, sweet honey, zesty lime juice, nutty sesame oil, and a hint of heat from chili garlic sauce. Warm water is added to loosen the sauce for better coating.
Fresh bell peppers add color and additional crunch to the noodles. After draining, the noodles and snap peas are combined with the bell peppers and peanut sauce and tossed to coat evenly.
The dish is served topped with chopped roasted peanuts, fresh cilantro, and sliced green onions, adding texture and herbal notes. This versatile dish can be served warm or at room temperature as a main or side.
