This is Molly’s version of the noodles her Mom would have on hand for her every time she flew home from college – they’re super nostalgic for her. Molly says slicing the bok choy into really long thin strips makes them eat nicely with the noodles and this dish is great at any temperature!

Ingredients

To Serve:

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Trim the bulb ends of the bok choy and separate the leaves. Cut the leaves lengthwise into long, skinny strips and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lime juice and garlic to make a smooth sauce. Set aside.
  4. Add the noodles to the water, stir and return to a boil. Start checking for doneness at 1 minute (though most brands will take 2 minutes or a little more), adding the bok choy into the pot during the last 30 seconds of cooking time.
  5. Drain the noodles and bok choy in a colander and shake to drain the excess moisture. Add to the bowl of peanut sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles in the sauce, separating and fluffing the noodles as you toss. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the peanuts. Serve with lime wedges and sriracha or sambal.
  6. These can be made a day ahead. Leftovers also keep well for 2 or 3 days covered in the fridge and are good cold or at room temp.
