ingredients
- 8 ounces organic whole wheat noodles (I used flat noodles)
-
Sauce
- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky-your choice)
- 1⁄2 cup warm vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 teaspoon lemongrass, pureed (my addition) (optional)
- 1 teaspoon gingerroot, freshly grated (for extra spice, add more ginger)
- 1⁄2 small carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1⁄4 cup scallion, thinly sliced into 2-inch pieces (green and white parts)
- fresh cilantro leaves
directions
- Cook the whole wheat pasta according to manufacturer's directions. Cook "al dente".
- Drain and set aside.
- In a serving bowl combine the sauce ingredients except for the carrots, scallions and cilantro leaves. Whisk until smooth. Note: It may help to combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl and lightly warm. I prepared this again recently and found it much easier to warm the sauce ingredients first.
- Toss the cooked pasta noodles with the peanut butter mixture.
- Garnish with the carrots, scallions and cilantro leaves ; serve warm.

Another winner!! DH and I really enjoyed this salad and served it along with recipe#218216#218216. I did top with some cooked shrimp and added some sesame oil, garlic and red pepper flakes like Rita. When it sat for a little bit it thickened so I had saved some of the pasta water and mixed a little in. Definately a keeper and going into my Favorites of 2014. Thank you for posting. Made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #86 tag game.

I made for Asian Noodle Tag. I used soy sauce sub. and no lemongrasss (also used powdered ginger). I added some garlic powder. Since we don't like crunchy veggies, I used 2 small spring onions and sauteed the carrots and onions, then put the sauce ingredients in, adding a little more water, to warm. Then I mixed in the noodles. It was good, everyone liked it except one child, although I may reduce the PB next time. It was a bit too strong. I'd rather have the other flavors come out in this.
