The noodles absorb the sauce quickly, so serve shortly after tossing all the ingredients together. If you can't find fresh Chinese egg noodles, substitute spaghetti or linguine.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon bottled ground fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
12 ounces fresh chinese egg noodles
1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
8 ounces peeled and deveined medium shrimp
1 1/2 cups julienne-cut red bell pepper
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, divided
1/2 cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts
Directions:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside.
2. Cook noodles in boiling water 1 minute. Add carrots and shrimp; cook 2 minutes or until shrimp are done. Drain in a colander over a bowl, reserving cooking liquid. Rinse noodle mixture under cold water; drain. Add noodle mixture, bell pepper, and 1/4 cup onions to peanut butter mixture, tossing to combine. Add enough of reserved cooking liquid to keep sauce creamy. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup onions and peanuts.
