How to Make Peanut Noodle Salad

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.

  3. Slice cucumber halves into half-moon shapes.
  4. Shred carrots using a box grater or food processor.
  5. Thinly slice red onion.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1/4 cup), peanut butter (1/2 cup), rice vinegar (1/4 cup), honey (2 tablespoons), sesame oil (1 tablespoon), sriracha (1-2 teaspoons, or to taste), ginger (1 tablespoon, grated), and garlic (1 clove, minced).
  7. Add cooked pasta, cucumbers, carrots, and red onions to the bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly in the peanut dressing.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with chopped peanuts or sesame seeds (optional).
