Equipment

  • A large bowl
  • A small bowl
  • Medium pot

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ Cup Peanut Butter
  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • ½ Teaspoon Chili Garlic Sauce adjust based on desired spice level
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil divided
  • 1 inch Grated Fresh Ginger
  • 2 Cloves Grated Fresh Garlic
  • 8 Ounces Dry Spaghetti half a standard packet
  • ½ package Classic Iceberg Salad Mix iceberg lettuce, carrots and red cabbage (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Grab your dry pasta and cook according to instructions on the packaging. Once al dente, drain water and then toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  • While your pasta is cooking, grab a small bowl and add the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, the other teaspoon of sesame oil, freshly grated ginger and garlic. Use a fork or small whisk to mix everything together until smooth.
  • Add your sauce into the bottom of a large bowl. Add about ½ a pound or packet of your salad mix (if using) and then your noodles. Toss until everything is well combined and then either serve immediately or store in an air tight container for 7 days and serve as part of a balanced lunch or dinner for meal prep.
