How to Make Cold Peanut Pasta With Shaved Radish And Cucumber

Total time: 23 min · Yields 4 servings

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender but firm. Drain in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold water until the noodles feel cool to the touch.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sauce

   While the pasta cooks, whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic in a large mixing bowl. If the mixture is too thick, whisk in warm water until it is smooth and glossy.

3. 3

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash the cucumber and radishes. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to shave the radishes into translucent rounds. Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and finely chop the green onions.

4. 4

   Toss and Combine

   Add the chilled noodles to the large bowl with the peanut dressing. Toss vigorously with tongs to ensure every strand is coated. Fold in the cucumber, half of the radishes, and half of the green onions.

5. 5

   Final Garnish

   Transfer the pasta to a serving platter or individual bowls. Top with the remaining radishes, green onions, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Add chili crisp if you prefer extra heat.
