Citrus Szechuan Noodle Bowl Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a two quart saucepan, combine all ingredients except cornstarch and water; place over medium high heat and stir occasionally until mixture begins to simmer.
• Blend cornstarch into water and add to sauce.
• Bring to a full boil, stirring often, for at least one minute or until thickened.
• Remove from heat and serve over the vegetables, noodles and protein of your choice.

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup vegetable broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and minced garlic in medium bowl to blend well (sauce will be thick). Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 6 minutes. Drain. Rinse noodles under cold water and cool. Cut noodles into 4- to 5-inch lengths. Transfer noodles to very large bowl. Toss with oil to coat.
• Cut bok choy, peppers, carrots and onions into matchstick-size strips. (Sauce, noodles and vegetables can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring sauce to room temperature before continuing, thinning with additional broth if necessary.)
• Add shredded cabbage and vegetable strips to noodles. Toss with enough peanut sauce to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
