I saw this recipe for Sesame Peanut Sauce and was intrigued. Tea steeped for 3 hours? Happens sometimes when I forget about my mug. Peanut butter? A daily staple. Garlic, ginger, and sesame seeds? Like ’em all. So on New Year’s Day, my first order of business was pulling this sauce together. And then I used it to make these cold sesame noodles with broccoli. This was a great recipe, and perfect for slurping up while relaxing on a holiday. But this got even better when it sat in the refrigerator for a day, so it will make a great packed lunch!

6 oz. whole wheat linguine, cooked, drained, and rinsed in cold water

8 oz. chopped broccoli, steamed, drained, and rinsed in cold water

1/2 c. Sesame Peanut Sauce

Mix noodles, broccoli, and peanut sauce in a bowl. Serve immediately, or chill for a few hours in the refrigerator.
