Thai Style Pasta

This Thai Style Pasta is easy, delicious and can be served hot or cold. Here is a little back story on this recipe.

Back in the days when I was watching a lot of Food Network in order to help improve my English, I saw a recipe made with peanut sauce. I thought that it looked so good, but when I made it, it was disappointing. Because here’s the problem: if it’s not mixed with chocolate, I don’t like peanut butter. Over the years, I’ve tried a bunch of different variations of this recipe, but I was never happy. But then it hit me: why does it have to be peanut butter? I love sunflower seed butter, so I decided to try substituting it, and boy, am I happy that I did. I also decided to used raw veggies instead of cooked because the crunchiness of the veggies goes well with the creaminess of the sauce and density of the noodles.
