Spicy Peanut Noodles

Vegetarian Times Issue: April 1, 2006   p.42

30 minutes or fewer

 

For milder noodles, start with 1 tsp. chile paste. If you want more spice, add a dab at a time, tasting as you go

Directions

  1. Cook linguine according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, 1?4 cup water, soy sauce, vinegar, chile paste and sugar in large bowl; whisk until blended. If sauce seems too thick, thin it with a little water; it should have the consistency of cream.
  3. Add linguine, bell pepper, cucumber and green onions, and toss well. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
