Mama is Craving Spicy Noodles

Spicy Veggie Asian Noodles  

Mama needed a quick spicy Asian fix last week!

So I rummaged through the frig and pulled out whatever I could find to create this easy dish.

and.....

It was GOOD

REAL

GOOD

Spicy Asian Veggie Noodles

1/2 box of wide whole wheat noodles

1 cup of fresh snow peas

1/2 small purple onion (sliced in wide lengths)

1 cup of cherry tomatoes (cut in halves)

1/2 cup of green chives (sliced in wide lengths)

1/2 cup of cilantro (slightly chopped)

1/2 cup of peanut butter (slightly soften in microwave)

1/2 cup of nonfat plain yogurt

2 T soy sauce

1/8 t red cayenne pepper

1T peanut oil or sesame oil

Combine peanut butter, yogurt, soy sauce and pepper in a small bowl. If not spicy enough you may add more pepper! Set the sauce aside.

Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain but do not rinse.

In a saucepan add the oil and saute veggies until slightly brown. Remove from the heat and mix in cilantro. 

In a large bowl combine noodles, sauce and veggies. Toss to coat noodles evenly.

I usually end up adding some chinese hot chili sauce to my serving. I sometimes squeeze a little lime on mine as well. Just play around with the flavors to your liking. If you like more sauce-double it. You may also throw in other veggies or substitute the ones I chose. 

This is my friend!
