Noodle dish

Prep veggies: wash watercress, thinly slice red bell peppers, thinly slice red onions, bean sprouts, sugar snaps

Sauce: some people use alot of canola oil and don't cook the sauce but I like to use chicken stock. In sauce pan, cook a couple of cups of chicken stock, veggie oil, sugarless peanut butter, tahini, soy sauce, grated ginger, chopped garlic, hot sauce or red pepper flakes, black pepper, a splash of rice wine vinegar and roasted sesame oil for flavor. Heat till it's all blended together. I don't know the measurements, just kind of taste as I go. Just make enough to coat a pound of pasta and have a little extra to put on top.

Cook a pound of whole wheat pasta or udon noodles.

After the pasta is cooked and drained, put in large bowl and mix with the sauce and all the veggies. Sprinkle with chopped scallions or cilantro.

I also like to grill chicken or shrimp and add on top of pasta. Super easy.
