INGREDIENTS

  • 1 small garlic clove , grated
  • 2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 scallion , including green, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted no-sugar-added peanut butter
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the garlic, ginger, scallion, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and hot water in a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Refrigerate until chilled through, at least 3 hours. Stir before serving. Serve with steamed asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower. Guests and family can choose their favorite vegetable to dip into the sauce.
  3. To use as a main dish: Cook noodles or linguine according to package directions. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water (this keeps it from sticking together) and toss with the sauce. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and toss again before serving. Add rinsed shredded spinach for a great meal!
