4-6
ingredients
- 16 ounces noodles (whole-wheat, I used penne)
- 1⁄4 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 limes, juiced (about 4 tablespoons)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (or hot pepper sauce)
- 1⁄4 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 cup spinach, packed and thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 cup carrot, grated
- 3 green onions, chopped (green and white parts)
- 2 cups broccoli, shredded (brocoli slaw)
- 1⁄3 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dry roasted peanuts, chopped
directions
- Prepare noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and cooking al dente. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili sauce and hot water; stir to blend well. Add oil in a steady stream, whisking to combine.
- Pour dressing over pasta and toss to blend. (If there is liquid in the bottom of the bowl, it will absorb into the pasta after all the additions.).
- Add spinach, carrots, green onions, broccoli slaw and cilantro to noodles. Toss well. Sprinkle with dry roasted peanuts before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
