• 1 package of your noodle of choice
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 4 cloves garlic

  minced
• 1 full shallot

  minced
• Whites of 8 scallions sliced

  about a ¼ of a cup
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp peanut oil
• 1 teaspoon chili sauce
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• ⅛ cup soy sauce
• 1 tbsp room temperature water
• 2 tsp brown sugar or Turbinado sugar
• Cilantro

  optional
• Sesame seeds

  optional

Instructions

• 1 In a large pot of water, cook the noodles. Regardless of brands, follow the
  instructions but cook them al dente. Drain noodles and rinse quickly. Set aside.
• 2 To make the savory sauce:
• 3 Prep your ingredients: Grate your ginger, slice your scallions, and mince garlic
  and shallot.
• 4 In a small bowl, combine your fish sauce and chili sauce and whisk. Set aside
  for later.
• 5 In another bowl combine your peanut butter and soy sauce, again, set aside.
• 6 On low heat and in a non-stick skillet or pan, sauté garlic and shallot in 1
  tbsp peanut oil on low heat for 5-7 minutes. Add a pinch of salt.
• 7 Add green onions and ginger and cook for 8 more minutes. When the mixture is
  really starting to cook down, add your sugar slowly. Remember, low heat is your
  friend here. You're almost creating a paste and caramelizing the mixture. This
  is why sugar is so important.
• 8 When your mixture of scallions, shallot, garlic, and sugar is looking more like
  a paste, slowly add your fish sauce/chili sauce and mix.
• 9 In a large mixing bowl mix the noodles, caramelized paste peanut butter/soy
  sauce.
• 10 Sprinkle with your garnish of choice and enjoy!
