SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLE SALAD RECIPES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine peanut butter, tamari, vinegar, cayenne, garlic and ginger, stirring to blend well. Stir in water to make a thick sauce. Set aside.
• Cook linguine in a large pot of boiling water until al dente about 10 minutes.
• Drain and rinse pasta under cold water, transfer to large bowl.
• Toss with sesame oil to coat.
• Add carrot, bell pepper, and scallions to the bowl with the linguine.
• Add reserved peanut sauce to coat, tossing gently to combine.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the jalapeño, garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the peanut butter and red curry paste and cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the coconut milk, chicken stock, soy sauce and sugar and simmer until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the lime juice and season with salt; let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the soba noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cooled. Shake out the excess water and blot the soba dry. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add the spicy peanut dressing and toss well to coat thoroughly. Add the carrots and cucumber and toss again. Garnish the soba with the lime zest and cilantro and serve.
