Peanut butter noodles make a delicious dinner for one.
Peanut butter is an ingredient central to many Asian dishes. Recipes from chicken satay and dipping sauces to pad Thai and other noodle dishes use peanuts and peanut butter for a thick, nutty taste. While cooking up some Asian flavored peanut butter noodles is a quick way to satisfy a craving for the taste of peanut butter, it can be more challenging to make just one serving of this tasty dish. By scaling down a large recipe, a single person can enjoy one serving of peanut butter noodles.
Instructions
1. Add water to a pot that's large enough to fit your serving of pasta. Bring the pot of water to a boil on the stove top.
2. Measure out 2 oz. of pasta using a kitchen scale. Other kitchen tools have holes that you can stick the spaghetti through to measure out a single serving.
3. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the directions on the pasta's package. When the pasta is done cooking, drain it and pour the cooked pasta into a bowl.
4. Mix together the ginger, chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey and garlic in a saucepan. Add some chili paste for a spicier sauce.
5. Heat the peanut butter mixture over medium heat until the peanut butter melts and the mixture is heated thoroughly.
6. Pour the peanut butter sauce over the cooked noodles. Toss the pasta to allow the sauce to get mixed in and coat the pasta.
7. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and peanuts on top.
