Ingredients for Sesame Noodles With Peanut Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Natural Style Peanut Butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey)
  • Hot Chili Oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

How to Make Sesame Noodles With Peanut Sauce

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely. Set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare the peanut sauce: In a food processor, combine minced garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili oil, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil.
  3. Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Add the cooked spaghetti to a large bowl.
  6. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
