28-5-2008 - Udon Noodles with Asian Peanut Sauce

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

1 cup broccoli or asparagus (frozen and thawed or fresh and cut into 1-inch pieces)

Soy sauce to taste

For the peanut sauce:

- 1 cup natural peanut butter

- 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce

1 or 2 tsp seasoned rice vinegar

1/4 tsp cayenne (more if you like it hot)

2/3 cup boiling water

Minced garlic to taste

Put all ingredients into food processor adding additional water if necessary to create a thick pourable sauce

*****

Cook noodles in boiling water for 1 minute less than indicated on the package. Add broc or asparagus to the pot two minutes before the noodles are done. Drain, transfer to a large bowl, then add the peanut sauce.
