Sesame Noodles

1/2 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons tamari
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Melt the peanut butter in a large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl, 15 to 20 seconds (depending on your microwave). Whisk the honey, tamari, and chili sauce into the peanut butter, then stir in the sesame oil and ginger. Mix in the garlic and green onions and toss with the spaghetti. Top with the sesame seeds.

Thanks for posting this Manda! I am totally going to make this, this week! Oh and I googled Tamari, it is just a Japanese soy sauce...this is what it said on Wikipedia

Tamari (たまり?): Produced mainly in the Chūbu region of Japan, tamari is darker in appearance and It is the "original" Japanese soy sauce, as its recipe is closest to the soy sauce originally introduced to Japan from China.

It definitely would have been good. What Thai chili sauce did you use?

ohh I see. well then I don't think the flavor would have been that different!
What I used is called 'Thai Sweet Chili Sauce' Its like this pinkish color and its pretty thick! But it was very good :)
