Ingredients

  • ½ lb. whole wheat spaghetti
  • ¼ cup peanut butter I used Chunky
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw or coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions cut in thin diagonal slices
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil, then add spaghetti and cook until barely al dente (The spaghetti should still be slightly chewy. I cooked this pasta not quite 9 minutes.) Drain spaghetti into a colander placed in the sink, then rinse with very cold water and let drain well.
  • While spaghetti cooks, in a large microwave safe bowl, heat peanut butter in microwave for 10-15 seconds, then whisk in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and hot sauce.
  • Add broccoli slaw, bean sprouts, snap peas, and green onions to sauce and toss to coat.
  • When spaghetti is well drained, add to the bowl, and toss to combine and coat noodles with sauce.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate to serve cold.
