Sesame and peanut sauce noodles

My mother taught me how to make this a long time ago. I remember being very mesmerized as she did each step to accomplish this dish, thinking that all I ever wanted to do was to cook and eat. 😛

Ingredients:

  • Any kind of noodles (about 3 small bunches)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of dried crushed red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 1 stalk of green onions, chopped and separated into white and green parts
  • 3 cloves of garlic, smashed and minced
  • 3 more cloves of garlic, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, shredded (optional)
  • 1 spicy sausage, chopped (optional)

How to serve:

  • I added two sides to this meal, the cucumber and sausage, but the noodles taste great on their own without embellishments!

Directions:

  • Chop and shred your optional toppings first and set them aside.
  • Bake the sausage in an oven for 15 minutes on 350 degrees and set aside.
  • Slice the 3 cloves of garlic and mince the other three cloves of garlic.
  • In a bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, crushed red peppers together and mix well until mixture is creamy and integrated together.
  • Heat up sesame oil in a shallow pan on medium heat; add in the white parts of the green onions. Stir fry until fragrant.
  • Add in all of the mixture from your bowl and stir fry on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Boil water and cook your noodles.
  • In a bowl, put the cooked noodles in first. Add the sauce and the green parts of the green onions and use tongs to mix well. Top the bowl with the shredded cucumber.
  • Place the baked sausage in a plate with the sliced garlic.
  • Ready to serve!
