Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound spaghetti or linguine
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha or other hot sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup hot water (or more, to thin sauce)
  • Optional garnishes: chopped peanuts, cilantro, green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, Sriracha, garlic, and ginger in a large bowl.
  3. Gradually whisk in the hot water until the sauce is smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Add more water a tablespoon at a time if needed.
  4. Add the drained, hot spaghetti to the bowl with the peanut sauce.
  5. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

  • Adjust the Sriracha to control the spice level.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
  • This dish is also delicious served cold as a noodle salad.
