Today I’m making… Peanut Butter Noodles
I admit I have been a little MIA lately. Sometimes parenthood gets in the way of things we like to do for ourselves (this blog) in the name of our children. My son was really sick but no worries, he is now he is back to his crazy self so I am back to blogging. I picked this recipe because I love peanut butter and wanted to try something besides sandwiches with the main ingredient of peanut butter. It stores well, can be used as either a side dish or main dish and can be changed up easily with the addition of protein and vegetables.
Recipe:
- Cook 8 ounces of Udon Noodles according to the package… mine took 4 minutes in a big pot of boiling water.
- Sauce: ½ a cup of chicken broth, 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh ginger, 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (I used ginger soy sauce), 1 1/2 tablespoon Honey, 3 tablespoons Peanut Butter (I used creamy/ no sugar added), 3 cloves Minced Garlic, 1 teaspoon Chili Powder. – Mix everything together over medium heat until the sauce gets creamy.
- Put the noodles in the sauce and mix it together. Garnish with whole peanuts.
- Additions: I put in some pan cooked Chicken, I would have liked to have had broccoli but I didn’t have any.
Review: This was good but make sure you like peanut butter before you make it. I accidentally added too much chicken stock so I had to add some extra peanut butter, honey and corn starch to thicken it up. I had a lot of sauce but there is nothing wrong with that! This is a great way to change up traditional peanut butter.
