How to Make Pioneer Woman's Simple Sesame Noodles

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sesame oil (pure), 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (or to taste).
  2. Cook 8 ounces of your favorite noodles according to package directions. Drain well, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  3. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss to coat completely. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until you reach desired consistency.
  4. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy alongside grilled meats, such as steak or chicken, and fresh cucumber for a refreshing contrast.
