Spicy Peanut Noodles

Connie Veneracion
The sauce for this noodle dish was made with four things and four things only—equal amounts of tamarind paste, sweetened peanut butter, light soy sauce and Sriracha. Tamarind is found in many Asian cuisines but it also found in African and Caribbean cooking. Peanut butter is popular in North America, some countries in Europe, Australia and some Southeast Asian nations including the Philippines. Sriracha and soy sauce are truly Asian. But mix them all together and you have a sauce that screams Asia!
