ingredients

¹⁄₂ lb whole wheat spaghetti
1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 -4 garlic cloves
1 medium onion
1 carrot
2 heads baby bok choy
¹⁄₃ cup creamy peanut butter
¹⁄₃ cup hot water
¹⁄₄ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons agave nectar, for vegan friends
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce or 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

directions

Prepare peanut sauce by whisking the first 7 ingredients together (or putting in a jar and shaking).
Put the pasta on to boil.
While pasta is cooking, chop your veggies. I prefer them kind of matchstick or julienned.
Heat the oil in a large skillet.
Saute onion and garlic. Be careful not to burn them!
Add bok choy and carrots to the pan and sauté just until the greens wilt.
Drain the pasta and add it to the pan. Toss with the veggies.
Pour the peanut sauce over everything and carefully toss.
Eat hot or at room temperature.
If you want to get fancy, garnish with chopped peanuts, cilantro, or sesame seeds.

Questions & Replies

Are we sure the directions are correct? The first 7 ingredients don't really seem to be appropriate. You have to read the directions to figure out which ingredients make up the sauce. Not very hard honestly, but still the recipe needs to be repaired for first time makers or new cooks that follow directions to the letter.
