Incredibly Easy Thai Peanut Sauce Noodles – one-pot simple pasta with 1-minute, no-cook peanut sauce!
Sala from VeggieBelly.com blog posted an interesting recipe for Stupidly Easy Peanut Noodles. She came up with simple but genius idea to cook broccoli florets first, then use same water to cook noodles. Sauce is made by just mixing all ingredients together.
You can use other vegetables instead of broccoli, whatever you have at hand.
I liked the recipe as it was, but I decided to tweak it by adding some Sriracha sauce, a tablespoon of honey, some minced fresh ginger and rice vinegar.
The recipe for Incredibly Easy Thai Peanut Sauce Noodles is easy and forgiving one, which you can change according to your taste.
