How to Make Baby Bok Choy With Peanut Butter Noodles
- Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, and ginger in a small bowl to create the peanut sauce.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, julienne the baby bok choy and carrot. Thinly slice the onion.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them!
- Add bok choy and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry until the bok choy wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss with the vegetables.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the pasta and vegetables. Toss to coat evenly. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and/or sesame seeds (optional). Enjoy hot or at room temperature!
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.
