Budget Bachelor Chow II


For when it's 3a.m. and you come home smelling of spilt whiskey and subway... 

This mess, I made at 5a.m. once. Debauchery doesn't have to mean crappy fast food, pizza, or junk food!

SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLES 

You know you're better than this, right?

1/4c smooth peanut butter
1T soy sauce (or to taste)
2t sambal (chunky chili paste) or sriracha or a chopped chili
Frozen mixed stir fry veggies (thawed)
Udon, soba, ramen, rice noodles, or left over rice (not not that fried rice in the back...)

Optional ingredients that will only make it more tasty:
  • stir in to the sauce some rice vinegar, lime juice, or tamarind juice for some tang
  • chopped cilantro, crushed peanut or cashew, lime wedge for garnish
  • pineapple chunks
  • gold leaf (joke!)

Put on a large pot of water, add salt and bring to a rolling boil.

Meanwhile, mix peanut butter, soy, and sambal in a bowl, thin with water and adjust soy and sambal to taste.

When water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to package directions. In a large skillet, add a little bit of oil and saute veggies til cooked; when seared nicely, add sauce and either toss noodles/rice with the veggies or serve atop. You can also add to this grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu or most other proteins.
