Equipment
- blender
- Tongs
- 9x13 pyrex baking dish
- Measuring cups and spoons
- knife & cutting board
Ingredients
- 8 oz linguine
Peanut Sauce
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1-2 tbsp gochujang adjusted to spice preference
- 2 tbsp chili crisp
- 1 cup water divided
Edamame Topping
- 2 cups edamame
- 1/4 cup mint finely diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro finely diced
- 2 tbsp hot honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add all of the sauce ingredients into a blender other than the chili crisp and water and blend until smooth.
- Spray a pan with cooking spray and lay the uncooked noodles flat in a 9x13 pan. Pour the spicy peanut sauce over the noodles.
- Sprinkle the top of the sauce with 1-2 tablespoons of chile crunch. Cover the pan with tinfoil and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 18 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and use tongs to stir the peanut noodles. Sauce with thicken and noodles should be 70% cooked.
- Pour in ½ cup of warm water and stir with the noodles to thin the sauce and allow the noodles to cook more. **If the sauce seems too thick after adding water, feel free to mix in another ¼ - ½ cup more. This will depend on what type of peanut butter you use**.
- Cover the noodles back up and place back in the oven for another 12-15 minutes (or until noodles are al dente).
- While the noodles are cooking, stir together all of the ingredients for the edamame salad.
- Remove noodles from the oven, add another ¼ cup of hot water to thin the sauce (it should be a luscious peanut butter sauce, not thick or clumpy).
- Serve hot and top with edamame salad + crushed peanuts on top. If desired, top with a pinch of red pepper flakes, a little sesame oil, and enjoy!

Notes
To reheat, add another ¼ cup of water to the pasta and then microwave. Stir together and the noodles/sauce will thin making it easier to enjoy!
