Ingredients

12 ounces thin spaghetti noodles
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
½ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
¼ cup soy sauce
20 ounces frozen onion and pepper strips, thawed

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the noodles to al dente according to the package directions.
Step 2: While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the peanut butter, honey, chicken broth, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and soy sauce in a bowl. The peanut butter won’t fully dissolve but will form small shreds in the mixture.
Step 3: Mix in the thawed onion and pepper strips into the peanut sauce mixture.
Step 4: When the noodles are done, drain all the excess water from the pot. Return the noodles to the pot, add the peanut sauce mixture, and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
Add chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro on top for extra crunch and freshness.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
If you prefer thicker sauce, use less chicken broth or cook the sauce briefly before adding to the noodles.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce if needed.
