Recipe - Peanut Noodles

adapted from Working Mother Magazine - Feb/March 2006

1 lb spaghetti (I use whole wheat or soba noodles)
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (get yourself a Wonder Cup for measuring stuff like peanut butter - http://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Cup-Two-Adjustable-Measuring/dp/B000I21N7O)
3 Tbs rice vinegar
6 Tbs soy sauce
4 Tbs sesame oil
4 Tbs fresh ginger (I use the jarred minced ginger)
1/2 tsp cayenne (optional - I put cayenne on my personal dish rather than in the recipe)
3/4 tsp sugar (haven't tried substituting Agave for this yet!)
1/2 cup hot water (usually take from pasta cooking water)

optional additions - sugar snap peas or snow peas, ripe mango, scallions cilantro, chopped peanuts, lime juice

1. Cook and drain spaghetti
2. Combine all other ingredients above (except optional additions) and whisk well until smooth.
3. Add spaghetti to sauce and mix well.

Serve with all the toppings you like best!
