Peanut Butter Noodles

Peanut Butter Noodles
(recipe taken from Allrecipes.com)

This is one of our all-time favorites. I think I make it almost once a week. Mike loves it! It's great with shrimp or chicken. I just cook the meat in soy sauce and peanut oil before adding it to the noodles.

"Smooth peanut butter, sweet honey, salty soy sauce, and fiery fresh ginger simmer with chicken broth to make a delectable sauce for boiled udon noodles. Garnish with sliced green onions and more fresh peanuts for a decidedly different dish."

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup chicken broth 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons peanut butter 1 1/2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons hot chile paste (optional) 3 cloves garlic, minced 8 ounces Udon noodles 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until tender according to package directions. Drain.
2.	Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, chili paste, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until peanut butter melts and is heated through. Add noodles, and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and peanuts.
