Ingredients for Amanda S Thai Peanut

  • Fettuccine
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

How to Make Amanda S Thai Peanut

  1. Cook 8 ounces fettuccine according to package directions. During the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, add 1 cup of broccoli florets to the pasta water.

  3. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  4. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter to the skillet. Whisk continuously until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and bubbling.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded carrots. Continue to toss until everything is well combined and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
