• Customizable: Easily adaptable to your preferred vegetables and spice level.
• Budget-Friendly: Uses readily available and affordable ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz Noodles (spaghetti, udon, or ramen work well)
• 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
• 2 tbsp Miso Paste (white or red)
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (or agave)
• 1-2 tbsp Water (to thin the sauce)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1/2 inch Ginger, grated
• Optional: Sriracha or chili flakes for spice
• Optional: Toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions, and chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger.
3. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
4. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions, and chopped peanuts (if desired). Add sriracha or chili flakes for an extra kick!

Tips and Variations:

• Add vegetables like broccoli florets, bell peppers, or spinach to the noodles for added nutrition and flavor.
• For a creamier sauce, add a splash of coconut milk.
• Adjust the amount of miso paste and soy sauce to your taste.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
