How to Make Asian Noodle Bowl
- Cook 8 ounces of spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the noodles.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Sauté until fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1/2 cup of sliced carrots, and 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers (any color).
- Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- 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.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
