How to Make Jaynes Peanut Butter Noodles

  1. Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions until almost tender.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While noodles cook, combine broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, onion, honey, cayenne (if using), and garlic in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until peanut butter is melted and sauce is smooth.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Drain noodles well and add them to the saucepan with the sauce.
  5. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
  6. Serve immediately in bowls or plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.
  7. Add red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
  8. Enjoy your delicious and easy Jayne-style peanut butter noodles! Makes 1 large or 2 smaller servings.
