Spicy Peanut Noodles

One of my favorite summertime dishes.

Ingredients:

8oz. thin spaghetti (or other fine noodle), cooked, drained
3 Tbs. olive oil, divided
2 tsps. peanut butter
2 Tbs. soy sauce
1 Tbs. water
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 Tbs. grated ginger
dash hot pepper sauce

Toss cooked noodles with 1 Tbs olive oil to coat. Chill.

In small bowl, combine 2 Tbs. olive oil and rest of ingredients. Whisk until smooth. Pour over cold noodles and toss until well coated. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

I tend to add more peanut butter and less sugar.

Optional:
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into slivers
1 cup cooked and cooled green peas
8 cooked, peeled and cold shrimp

Add the optional and it makes a great meal.
