Recipe – Dan Dan Noodles

Ingredients:

2/3 cups creamy peanut butter*
8 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons grated fresh ginger*
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar*
2 tablespoons chili oil
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
16 ounces ramen noodles
6 scallions, finely chopped*

Directions:

Place the peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, black vinegar, and chili oil into the bowl of a mini-food processor. Process until the mixture is well combined and forms a paste, 1 to 2 minutes. With the processor running, gradually add the chicken broth and process until the sauce is creamy and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, cover, and set aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Place 4 quarts water into a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook until al dente, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a colander. Add the noodles to the bowl with the sauce and toss to combine. Serve topped with the peanuts and scallions.
