It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club post and this month I was assigned to food blogger Allison of Alli-n-Son (clever, eh?) I love her tagline which is “Motherhood, Baking and Boys with a Side of Chocolate.” Besides me only having one daughter, we have everything else in common according to that title!
There were so many yummy looking recipes to choose from on Allison’s blog, especially from her Sweet Tooth Friday selection. I also was tempted by the Caramelized Sriracha Pumpkin Seeds. But in the end, I decided to try this delicious sounding Spicy Peanut Noodle Salad. I adore all kinds of Asian cuisine – Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese – but why is it that I only cook with those ingredients occasionally? Time to change that.
What I love about this recipe is that it uses pantry staples (peanut butter, soy sauce) and you could easily substitute in whatever veggies you have on hand. The only switch I made was to use regular peanut butter instead of reduced fat peanut spread (my nutrition nugget: you only save a few calories by using reduced fat and there’s extra sugar added so just go for the real stuff – you have this dietitian’s blessing!)
What’s your favorite Asian dish? Do you make it at home?
I love all Asian food, and this looks so good!
Thanks Tandy – look forward to making that delish avocado dressing!
Deanna: A big bowl of noodles for me, please!!! They are calling my name…
I hope you have enjoyed my take on your delicious Gnocchi. xx
Denise – I love love love what you did to my gnocchi recipe – you’ve seriously included all my fav foods in one dish – can’t wait to try it!!
Thank you so much, Deanna! I am so happy that you liked it. I love your pasta as well…It was pretty easy for me to obtain a good result in mine because of your dish that was already superb!!! Thank you for a great recipe.
Peanut Butter, oh peanut butter how I love you. Will have to try it in noodles now !
I share your love for peanut butter – it’s almost embarrassing how much we go through in a week in our house
Great looking dish! Bet it’s better than takeout!
Oh how delicious! I think this will be on my menu plan very soon!
These noodles are one of my favorite asian dishes! LOVE the colors!
That looks so delicious. My kiddos love spicy food so I’m going to have to try them. They would be great with Asian Sticky Chicken!
Would be SO good w. Sticky Chicken – you could easily ramp up the spice for your kids. Next time I’m going to add sriracha sauce & shrimp!
This looks sooo good! I love noodle salads, heck I just love noodles and I could totally use a bowl of this right now! YUM!
