noodles in spicy peanut sauce

Here's a tasty noodle dish, based on a Thai recipe, that is good to eat any time of the year.

Makes 4 servings

2 bundles Ramen or somen noodles
2 Tbs Garlic, minced
3 Tbs Fresh coriander, minced
1/2 Cup Peanut butter
1/4 Cup Soy sauce
5 Tbs Sugar
3 tsp Rice wine
1/4 tsp Hot chili oil
1 Tbs Sesame oil
 
+ Various garnishings (see below)

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to directions. Drain. Cool and set aside. (You can add 1 tsp of sesame oil to the noodles to prevent them from sticking together while you make the sauce.)

Combine the rest of the ingredients together in a large bowl or food processor. Mix until the peanut butter has become smooth and the ingredients well-blended.

Add the noodles to the bowl and toss until noodles are well-covered with the sauce. Garnish with fresh coriander (cilantro). You can also garnish the noodles and sauce with:

Cooked peas
Pork, chicken or beef slices
Julienne carrots
Chopped spring onions
