Spicy Peanut Noodles

Ingredients

• 0.5 pack Pasta of choice (Boiled; save 1/2 cup pasta water. Pack size is not specified.)
• 0.5 cup Pasta water (Reserved from boiling the pasta)
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 6.5 cloves Garlic (Minced; source gives a range of 6–7 cloves.)
• 1 tbsp Peanut butter (Unsalted recommended)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce (Low-sodium recommended)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt (To taste)
• Black pepper (To taste)
• 1 tbsp Red chili flakes
• Green onion or chives (For finishing; amount not specified)
• 2 tsp Chili garlic sauce (Optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Boil the pasta of your choice. Before draining, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

2. 2

   Combine the honey, minced garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red chili flakes, and optional chili garlic sauce to make the peanut sauce.

3. 3

   Toss the boiled pasta with the peanut sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce and coat the noodles.

4. 4

   Season with salt and pepper to taste, taking care because the peanut sauce can become too salty easily.

5. 5

   Finish with green onion or chives and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify the pasta package size, exact cooking time, sauce proportions beyond the listed ingredients, or how much pasta water to add. Use unsalted peanut butter and low-sodium soy sauce to help prevent the sauce from becoming overpoweringly salty.
