Rice Noodles in Peanut Sauce

Rice Noodles with Veggies in Peanut Sauce

This recipe is awesome... I was able to please everyone in the family which is hard to do...
This is so easy and quick to make that it just might become my new Go-To dinner for those crazy-busy evenings.


Rice Noodles with Veggies in Peanut Sauce

1 Lb. Brown Rice Spaghetti or Whole Wheat Spaghetti (Reserve 2 cups pasta water)
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter
6-8 Tbs. Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
3 tsp. Chili Sauce
1 Bag Frozen Vegetable Medley (pref. Asian mix)
2 Tbs. Rice or sushi Vinegar
2 Tbs. Toasted Sesame Oil

1.Mix the sauce while water is boiling for the pasta.
2. Add frozen veggies to cooked pasta during the last minute of cooking. (reserve 2 cups of the water)
3. In a blender  mix all the ingredients for the sauce and blend. Then add between 1-2 cups of the reserved cooking water to the sauce and blend  to a creamy consistency.
4. Drain cooked pasta and veggies, place them into a lg. bowl, pour peanut sauce over the pasta and toss.
These are approx. measurements for 1 Lb. of pasta, adjust them to however much pasta you are making.  I made 1-1/2 Lbs. pasta so I used 1-1/2 bags of veggies and 1 cup peanut butter.
