Spicy Asian Peanut Noodles

Once you buy the oils, you generally have the ingredients laying around the house, and they are very inexpensive. If you have one, I suggest Trader Joes, they sell this stuff dirt cheap. I would say there is enough protein in here to not add meat, but some chicken breast is tasty if you are extra hungry.

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 inch fresh ginger, peeled
• 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1/4 cup of peanut butter
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp. chicken stock or water
• 2 tsp. chili oil
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• Diced cucumber and cilantro for toppings if you like

Directions

Boil 1/2 pound of pasta. Add ingredients to food processor or blender, starting with the ginger and garlic. Mix into fresh pasta and top. Voila!, a beautiful cheap delicious meal. You know it's cheap because I am on a college budget!
