This turned out amazing! I actually used it as the dresing for a slaw, which we had by itself and also as a condiment on a pork sandwich, using this same dressing to warm/marinade the pork with. Thank you Taste Of Home magazine for the awesome idea!

Noodles With Peanut Sauce

Transform your traditional Ramen noodles into a Thai-inspired dish by pairing the noodles with a spicy peanut sauce. Although you can make the peanut sauce according to your own preferences, most recipes call for soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, garlic and chili powder or red pepper flakes. Once your noodles are cooked and the sauce ingredients are blended together, simply smother the noodles in sauce and mix thoroughly. Feel free to add diced chicken or beef, onions, carrots, cucumbers, scallions or any type of vegetables. The dish can be served hot or cold, depending on your preferences.
