Ingredients for Asian Noodle Bowl

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • Canola Oil
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Stir Fry Vegetables
  • (Water is implicitly used in cooking vegetables - removed for clarity)
  • Barbecue Sauce
  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • Roasted Peanuts

How to Make Asian Noodle Bowl

  1. Cook 8 ounces of spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the noodles.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1/2 cup of sliced carrots, and 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers (any color).
  5. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and heated through, about 1 minute.
  7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  8. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
