Directions:

First things first, let’s cook the noodles. Whether you’re using thai noodles or linguine, follow the package instructions and cook them in a pot. Once the noodles are ready, drain them and place them back in the pot. Add 2 tbs of sesame oil and toss to coat and set aside.

Once the noodles are done, drain them and mix with sesame oil.

In a pan, heat 2 tbs of sesame oil over medium high heat. Add in the green chopped green onions, frozen vegetables, ground ginger and minced garlic.

Sautée the vegetables until they are soft.

Sautée the ingredients until they are soft, this should take about 5 minutes.

Add in the peanut butter, the more peanut butter the richer and creamier the sauce will be.

Next, add the honey, soy sauce and vinegar. Depending how creamy you want the sauce to come out add either 1/4 cup or 1/2 of creamy peanut butter. I like to add 1/2, to give the noodles a rich and creamy taste. Add the peanut butter to the pan and mix well.

Once the sauce has simmered for a few minutes pour over the noodles.

Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes. After 3 minutes remove the pan from the heat and pour the sauce into the pot with the noodles. Mix the noodles and sauce well.

Sprinkle some peanuts on top of the noodles and bon appetite!
