Thai Peanut Noodles

Thai Peanut Noodles- Our Best Bites

Ingredients: 

1/2 c. chicken broth

3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter

1-2 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce (1 is mild with a bite, 1.5 is medium, 2 is hot) (we did 1 tsp)

1 1/2 Tbsp. honey

3 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh minced ginger

2-3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

8 oz. Udon or linguine noodles ( I used Linguine)

Chopped green onions

Chopped cilantro

2 limes, cut into quarters

Chopped peanuts

Directions:

Cook noodles in salted water. In the meantime, combine chicken broth, peanut butter, chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat. Toss cooked noodles with sauce and divide among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with green onions, cilantro, chopped peanuts, and garnish each serving with 2 lime quarters. Before eating, squeeze lime juice over noodles and stir to combine.

*If desired, you can add meat to this dish by stir-frying shrimp or very thinly-sliced chicken (partially freeze it first) in some olive oil with a couple cloves of garlic, some fresh ginger, some green onions, soy sauce, and a small squirt or two of Sriracha chili sauce.

Josh and I bought some "cheaper" shrimp to go with it.. and it was amazing. We just sauteed some up in olive oil and butter. Seriously. Our new favorite meal. Oh and I only did 1 tsp of the hot chili sauce. Next time I think we might add a little water to the sauce to make it not as thick.(Josh wanted it thinner.) But really, I LOVE this recipe. 

I added this picture from their website so you could see the hot sauce bottle they used. I found it by the chinese noodles you would use in Hawaiin Haystacks or the Soy Sauce. It took me forever to find it. So I figured I would try to give a little tip and help out if you want to go find it:)
