- ⅓ cup all-natural peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 teaspoons sriracha

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 7-9 minutes or until they are cooked to al dente. Set aside 1 cup of pasta water before straining the pasta. Once strained, set the pasta aside.
- In the same pot, add the peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, honey, and ½ cup pasta water and whisk the ingredients together.
- Heat over low heat until the sauce has thickened.
- Remove from the heat and toss the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon more of pasta water to the pot and stir until smooth.
- Top with all of the toppings and enjoy immediately.
Tips & Notes
- Any type of long pasta can be used for this recipe.
- If you don’t have sriracha, you can use garlic chili sauce, gochujang, or chili crisp. The spice level will vary depending on which one you use.
- If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar, white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
- We remove more pasta water than the recipe calls for, just in case we need more to cream the pasta.
- If you would like a saucier dish, you can double the sauce.
