Peanut Butter Garlic Noodles - this recipe is really incredibly easy.
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan - it is important that the saucepan is large because all the ingredients will be mixed in it later.
Grate, press or finely chop garlic and ginger and mix with the remaining ingredients of the sauce (peanut butter, vinegar, oil, honey, soy and chilli sauce and water). Please do not use a hand blender, otherwise the delicious peanut pieces will be lost. If the sauce is still too thick, just add some pasta water later.
Wash carrots, peppers and cucumber; Core the bell pepper and cucumber. Cut everything into strips about five centimeters long and one centimeter wide. It is even easier with a grater, but then later the crisp element is missing. Wash the spring onions, cut diagonally into strips and prepare them for the garnish.
Then cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
When the pasta is ready, you pour it off and catch some of the cooking water. Then put the pasta with the peanut butter sauce and the vegetable strips back in the pot and stir briefly. Nothing should be cooked anymore, just mixed in so that the sauce surrounds the pasta and absorbs some heat. If the peanut paste is still stubborn, everything can be diluted with some collected pasta water if necessary.
